If the powers that be cared one iota about the future of this country they wouldn’t be drowning our young people in endless college loan debt; they’d be providing endless opportunities for free higher education.

You keep empowering the very people who are eyeballs deep in the predatory credit industry. There is literally no one worse or more evil in this regard than Biden. He was magnitudes worse than anyone on predatory lending, and from before he was President. You are the problem.

keep in mind the students you claim are 'drowning' actually 'dove in' and signed the terms of the loan agreement. and it isn't the 'powers who be' who will be forced to pick up the tab. choosing a major requires research on job opportunities BEFORE you sign the loan.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch, or education for that matter.

The whole American education system is a joke. I would hire a random 16 year old swedish student before a 22 year old US college grad. Struggle to find college level interns with even some basic knowledge that would allow them to learn more and contribute.

Not my responsibility to pay over priced tuition for someone else. The colleges are too expensive for what students get. It’s a rip off nowadays.

An educated population isn't good for corporations wanting compliant, desperate workers who will settle for very little because they have no choice. Also why we don't have a good medical care system that isn't tied to our jobs.
