The students aren't the problem here the government allowing states and schools to extract as much as possible from students with questionable results is. The government also planning these systems with the goal of turning a profit is also a problem. The students end up victims in this which is a real tragedy.
There is no societal win for letting students graduate with debt loads too large and so heavy that it weighs down every other area of society. |
Did I say anything about you saying you're in favor of a "a totally free higher education system". No.
In fact you simply ignored my point entirely and just ranted about the same old.
Student loan redistribution (which is the topic of this thread) fixes none of the issues you keep going on about.
