"For decades, student aid was distributed without fees," Williams said. "Now bank middlemen are making out like bandits using campus cards to siphon off millions of student aid dollars."

Students can opt out of the programs and choose direct deposit or paper checks to receive their college aid, but relatively few do. The cards and accounts are marketed aggressively using college letterhead and websites carrying the endorsement of colleges. Higher One also warns students that it will take extra days if they choose direct deposit or a paper check.

In the end, students feel locked into accounts before they have a chance to shop for a better deal, Parker-Milligan said.

He said that's especially tough for poor students who rely on food stamps and other social services. Those students budget down to the penny, and don't plan on paying a fee when Higher One's ATM runs out of cash, he said.

It is easy to understand why they teach nothing of economics or contracts all the way through high school...


;) ;)

We used to have a required course on personal financial management.

When you're a slave, everything is free.

The indoctrination to the debt culture begins early...you need to be yolked to to the plow as soon as possible so the corporate masters can enslave you. Student loans, car loans, mortgage are all reasons why an intelligent middle class person would st in a cubicle and make money for someone else with no proportional return. And then there is the modern day " Viking ", healthcare. which has you running to their corporate castles each day in your loaned car. Its not thee viking sails you fear on the horizon its a medical bill in the mail. And Government is your King and he like you is a debtor to those who really run the show not these phony politicians. But on the fringes of the Kingdom...some of us are living free and we are ready to pounce when they come knocking on our door...

And the government says; "Why should they have all the fun, we can enslave too."

It's all a matter of choice on the one hand, while on the other?

They are "comfortably numb."

Their idea of freedom is "Avengers" or "Dark Shadows."

Get your thrills by watching others or a video game...reality, work or training is just too hard. I don't want be free its too much work. The rugged individualistic American is almost gone.
 
How about if parents start teaching their little monsters how to manage money instead of letting them sit in front of the xbox all day?
 
You Wingnuts can still blame the school system!

I would never try to take that away from you.

Blame the parents who are over-taxed to provide the schools and teacher's pay and pensions which are greater than they, themselves earn.


You're one helluva class act there Petey: Blame the victim!
