Show Notes

In this episode, Mark Hall and Dr. Walter Kemmsies discuss Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the failure of a four year college degree and student loans.

Excerpt: Walter: Some months ago on one of our podcasts, I'd said to you that I felt that the student debt for a lot of students, not every student, but for certain students, it should be forgiven. They borrowed money because the college education was going to give them a higher income so that they could pay off the debt. But I think the vast majority of students, they got this education and they can't use it to make enough money to pay off the debt that they have.

So the university system has effectively stolen money and wealth from kids who went to their colleges. It’s insidious the way universities and colleges do it. The students weren't properly trained. They weren't set up to have a career. The point of going to college was to get educated so you could do things. Now you go to college simply to get a diploma that says, I graduated from college.
