Now you're talking about fixing it. That's what I'd like to see. A solution before it swamps the student. Maybe free for the proven poor, and/or maybe some kind of low/no interest government loans. I don't agree with forgiving for everyone no matter their needs or habits - widespread giveaway. I believe there are people that would take advantage and not pay even if they are well off.

However, I am not seeing/hearing of anyone in this, or any other administration, suggesting there are controls over the process according to a students financial situation before they take the loan. I'm only hearing about widespread bailouts.

Good doesn't always win!
