It's not just the financial or legislative aspects. Those of us whose lives have been thrown into upheaval by exploding balances on delinquent or defaulted student loans are getting organized, and we're taking on the needless, big bank middlemen like SLM Corporation. The Cuomo inquiry was just the beginning. The fact is, the William Ford Direct Loan Program, administered directly by the government, is 4x more efficient and cheaper than SLM Corporation, which needs to keep its Chairman Albert L.
