Quote:Nobody feels sorry for the jerk stores that abuse the system.


But nobody should be campaigning to tear down the system because a small minority of humanity are unscrupulous and want to defraud the system.

 

All I was implying is that maybe student debt wouldn't be such an issue if borrowers lived more within their means and were more responsible. 

 

How does one put a price on a credit hour anyway? I am assuming it has to be enough to cover the cost of faculty, maintenance, etc. If the gov't starts funding these institutions to make the first 2 years "free", where exactly do you think that money is coming from?

 

Edit: Also, what about the people already up to debt to their eyes? Is the gov't going to mandate the banks to forgive the loans? How is that going to work?
