Under a plan likely to take effect next year, the Education Department would check the past two years of a borrower’s credit, instead of the current standard of five, for blemishes such as delinquencies or debts in collection.

As I said somewhere else on here, what is and has been taking place since 2008 is Nationalization of the entire US economy. Our rulers have been enamored with the Chinese “Miracle” of “Government Controlled Capitalism” which isn’t Capitalism at all.
Imagine the visions of absolute power circulating through the halls of elite political institutions about now.
