H is view is that there is a national benefit to lower rates for students, and that that in the long run will benefit us all.
Well it depends. Sometimes buybacks benefit the equity holders, and sometimes they don't. In general, I think it is safe to say that buybacks funded with borrowed money don't benefit the equity holders in the long run.
It is not mortgage rates. It is the rate on student loans. Sanders believes, as do I, that education , is the best investment of all.
if they can't think of anything better to do than buy their stock then they are no smarter than I was when I bought it.
oh, thanks for correcting me, at one time we thought home ownership was the American Dream, and now it's a college degree? I agree. We should manipulate rates way down on anything we like. I'm all for free education and will gladly pay for it in taxes, but don't get the banks involved.
