House Financial Services Committee chairwoman Maxine Waters was brought up short Wednesday after she targeted banking chiefs over the student loan crisis, even though the federal government took over student lending in 2010. At a hearing featuring a panel of seven bank CEOs, Ms. Waters ticked off figures on student loan debt and defaults, then asked, “What are you guys doing to help us with this student loan debt? Who would like to answer first? Mr. Monahan, big bank.” Bank of America chairman and CEO Brian Monahan replied, “We stopped making student loans in 2007 or so.” Ms. Waters replied,

Of course the federal government took over something financial and proceeded to ruin it. Now they are trying to blame banks who have nothing to do with it. I will bet that loans made by banks prior to 2010 properly qualified students and most of them were capable of paying back the loans. Once the feds took over they passed out money to anybody and I´ll bet the default rate soared.
Yet another of government "help" that ends up hurting instead.
Waters is a moron. Thankfully she is willing to prove that on a regular basis.

I admit it. I once called Mad Maxine “dumb as a bag of hammers”.
It was wrong and I’d like to apologize to bags of hammers everywhere.

Am I the only one who remembers that the Feds took over all student lending and used the interest income from these student loans to offset Obamacare costs so the OMB could bring that magic 10 year obamacare cost number under a trillion?
In order to hide the true cost of Obamacare the feds bloated the student loan bubble to the point of bursting. And burst it will. Its a hard and fast rule in economics, that which cannot continue, won´t.

Maxine Waters is so dumb, she would steal free samples. She´s so dumb, she would stand all day at a stop sign. Maxine is so dumb she takes an hour to make minute rice. She´s so dumb she has to use the phone book to look up the number for 9-1-1.
No. These are not jokes. Really, Maxine is very likely that dumb!

It´s time for AOC to enter the Federal government´s Witless Protection Program and take up anonymous residence in a small town somewhere in northern Idaho.

Duhh, I meant Maxine Waters but AOC might want to join Mad Max in the Witless Protection Program. They could open up a coffee shop together.

It goes to show the world how hard up the Democrats are if they put her in charge of the Financial Services Committee. Isn´t she the one who paid her daughter $750,000 out of her campaign funds to fold brochures? She gets away with it because she is a black woman with a big mouth.

Maxine Waters is dumb as a sack of hair but we all knew that already.
The enlightening bit of the article is at the end:
"The Obama administration eliminated the federal guaranteed loan program in 2010, putting the federal government in charge of student lending with the idea of saving taxpayer dollars by “cutting out the middleman,” as President Barack Obama put it.
Afterward, student loan debt exploded from $154.9 billion in 2009 to $1.1 trillion at the end of 2017, according to Investor’s Business Daily. Current student debt is estimated at more than $1.5 trillion."
And there ,in a nut shell, is exactly what bigger and bigger government does every single time. $150 billion to $1.5 trillion in less than 10 years.

FTA: "Afterward, student loan debt exploded from $154.9 billion in 2009 to $1.1 trillion at the end of 2017..." What followed next was the massive student loan DEFAULT, especially amongst the BLACKs. They thought so long as Doorknob Hussein was president, they didn´t have to pay back their student loan.
Btw, Maxine Waters still rewinds her DVD when she´s done.

I was surprised she could even read the questions that were written for her. I assume she didn’t come up with the questions on her own, but how dumb she must be to not even have reliable staff.

Maxine could do her homework, and be more informed, but that´s not what she wants. She would rather be on TV running her mouth, and people that are as equally uninformed as her, would eat up whatever she says.

I first heard about this exchange on the radio and thought perhaps it was "adjusted for time constraints" then I watched it on CSpan.
You would think anyone in her district would slink off in in total embarrassment......but come to find out they THINK she did good.
Geeze....this country really is in deep doo apparently.

My fear, she accidentally discovered how the government can simply forgive all the loans since no bank is on the hook, and they´ll simply add it to the national debt - when they get the opportunity.

Mad Max, a hapless, helpless and hopeless knuckle dragging haridan is indisputible proof the other are some human species pretenders that have not yet reached the ´drawing pictures on cave walls` level of evolution. Someone gave the Neanderthal a gavel and she spends all her time making funny noises by pounding her cranium with the wooden toy!

Dropping banks from making student loans and requiring the feds to do so was in the totally contrived and voted for CommieCare bill by demonrat commies only.
Must be Mad Maxie only voted for the bill before she could find out what was in it, then failed to read it afterward. Dumber than dirt, that´s Mad Maxie. I bet she thinks Guam will flip over if one more person steps on it too.

Did the Democrat Party place this utter moron, selected strictly because she is black, as chair of an important committee just to make black people look foolish? The Dems should be ashamed (though they have no capacity for it) and black people should be deeply offended at this affront.
