Limbaugh, "top colleges are the functional equivalent of leadership schools from totalitarian nations."

After claiming "the regime has now taken over" student loans, Limbaugh explained that student loans could not be dissolved in bankruptcy.

(He said) that they can default or be forgiven by the federal government, which, Limbaugh said, "is one of the reasons the Obama people took over the student loan program -- to be able to forgive certain student loans based on certain characteristics of the students in question: How are they going to vote?

Limbaugh then launched into a screed against higher education, claiming that universities in the United States are factories for a ruling class, that criticisms of mounting tuition costs are non-existent, and that "top colleges are the functional equivalent of leadership schools from totalitarian nations."

The Republicans changed the law when Bush became. it allowed private banks to refinance government loans by consolidating them.

This was a bad deal for students and was fundamentally a federal subsidy to the banking industry.  When Nancy Pelosi became speaker in 2006, she changed the law and banned these loans.

Republicans like to talk about the liberal 'ivory towers' in universities, but they don't mention the "ivory bastions," the college fraternities, that provide a conservative leadership pipeline. Both Bush presidents attended Ivy league Schools.

Nor do they mention that the 'for profit' or religious college like Bob Jones University that are ultra right wing. 

Limbaugh was also a total washout in college, failing every course he ever took including ballroom dancing.
