I simply don't want people to be in debt to the federal government for 20 to 30 years because that's what they had to do to pay for a college education. The best way to make that happen from here is for the federal government to both reduce outstanding debts and take steps to stop universities from creating them. Or we can keep doing what we're doing and either have another generation in debt for life or the option of a college education only available to the upper class who can afford it.

Just out of curiosity,  how many non-college educated individuals do you hire at your place of employment? Gonna assume not many, but curious to hear.

How do you suggest the federal government "stop" universities from creating student debt? Who determines the fair price of an education? Do you want the government to determine that?

My organization has over 15,000 people employed, roughly 65% have a college education as you would demand of a health care organization. In my division where we do administrative work we have a 15/85 split of college degree to non-college degree among 280 or so people. 

And absolutely, if the government is going to hand money over to the universities then they can damn well set the price of tuition. Governor DeSantis is doing some very good work in this area in our state, with the intent to provide a "quality, affordable education" unfettered by "ideological activists and political organizations determining what they should learn."
