Joe Biden has ‘forgiven’ $5.8 billion loans for 560,000 borrowers who were lured by dishonest marketers working on behalf of the Corinthian College – which founded Everest College, a system of for-profit colleges – that didn’t come through. Students signed up without looking at the fine print. The students did or could receive degrees but the promised high salaries didn’t often pan out.
According to the Corinthian Colleges lawsuit, the company was alleged for using deceptive business practices and aggressive advertisement tools (such as overstated job replacement rates and high salaries of postgraduates) to attract students.
IT’S A NEW TAX
It is the single largest loan “forgiveness” of student debt in the history of the Department of Education. So far, Biden has ‘forgiven’ $25 billion in school loans. He calls it debt relief, but it’s actually a tax on all the American taxpayers who now have to pay the loans off. It’s a prelude to his massive loan ‘forgiveness’ plan to buy votes.
Corinthian operated from 1995 to 2015. In 2013, then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris sued Corinthian before carrying out a full investigation. The probe found “comprehensive” wrongdoing carried out against students across the nation. They lied to prospective students about graduation and job placement rates.
The government lawsuits forced what was left of Corinthian into bankruptcy after they sold some of the schools.
On Wednesday, The DOE confirmed that every student with a remaining loan balance at Corinthian is eligible for borrower defense.

What did the .gov do about students who attended Trumps school? They wasted 10x the amount students spent trying to prove it was a scam…but was it? No. Any unaccredited school is a gamble. If Corinthian was accredited, sue the accrediting agency in class action. Pun intended…
Student Loans should be backed by the Schools, not the taxpayer. The Government should offload all it’s Student Loans to the Colleges and if a College doesn’t take over the loan, it never gets Government Funds again in any shape or form. ALL the loans not picked up by Colleges should fall on College Graduates as a Tax only levied on College Graduates with Bachelor, Masters, and Doctorate Degrees who are supposedly making all this money. The hard working American doing the “Dirty Jobs” shouldn’t be handed this bill. People who take out Student Loans are making a business transaction and we don’t need everyone with a College Degree anyway. What we need is for Grammar and High School to stop Indoctrinating Children and prepare them for Real Life as a High School Graduate. I meet very few teachers nowadays who can hold a real job in the real world, so personally I think Teaching should be a second careeer after 20 years in the real world actually earning money for a business. I don’t think any school teacher should be under the age of 40.
