It doesn't come from a government source. Student Loans come from banks, like Sallie Mae, not the government. The government just "backs" the loan up by promising the bank they will buy the debt if the borrower turns out to be a doucehbag, therefore the bank is more likley to give the loan to undeserving borrowers because there is little or no risk involved for the bank.
That's what people seem to not understand about the US Governement: They don't pay for stuff like this themselves, they always include a bank, that way some honest, hardworking, starving banker can make some money. Obamacare doesn't pay for people's healthcare, Obama pays insurance companies to pay for somoenes healthcare, that way some honest, hardworking, starving insurance agent can make some money. Stimulus funds work the same way.
