Banker bashing - Megan McArdle explains the silliness of Elizabeth Warren's proposal to hold student loan rates at the same level of banks.  In short, banks get very low loan rates because these loans are held for a very short time and the banks have significant collateral.  College students are taking loans out over a decade or more and the collateral is a promise to repay and nothing more.
