“The US Department of Education has become the Countrywide of student lending. After a lending binge started in 2009, it now holds a massive $452 billion portfolio of student loan receivables, according to Federal Reserve data. This so-called ‘asset’ will become a liability by next year. Thanks to the punk job market, a huge percentage of these loans will go bad or have to be restructured. When that happens, Congress will have to appropriate money to make up for the loan-payment shortfall. What was quietly off budget will soon make a big splash on the federal budget.”
