For fuck’s sake, we can’t even help people who were scammed? This is insane.
At this point, the whole secondary education system in the US is a giant scam to create debtors for the next 20-30 years.

Don’t forget the government ensuring that student loans are not able to be erased, even by bankruptcy.
This creates a guaranteed income stream for the banks, while also allowing the universities to crank up tuition costs, knowing that the bank will approve any student loan amount - knowing there will never be a default on that loan.

Americans in general need to unionize more.
This country needs a general strike in the worst way possible.
Wages will get garnished as soon as they don’t pay ☹️
Conservatives will always side with fellow grifters. Always.
Right wing killing America. Education needs to be affordable if the country is to survive. Everything changes when we can’t compete with other nations because we have to import all the talent. We’re already kind of there.
But of course, the right wing needs to kill education. They have to maintain their voter base.
Why do Republicans hate Americans?
The government caused the insane bloating of college institutions by offering limitless funds and pushing every kid to go school, now they’re trying to use our tax dollars to put a band aid on their mistakes? Hell no.
(1) it’s not limitless, and (2) tuition and public institutions should be free anyway, and (3) tuition was really cheap until Ronald Reagan and his glorification of greed poisoned our entire culture.
College is so expensive because the government does NOT offer lots of funding to public universities.
And the help the government provides in the form of loans is subpar. When I was going through college a few years ago, the interest rate on the loans that were offered to me by the government was higher than my parents credit card interest rates.
Our taxes should be used to pay for the education of future generations. Demanding the next generation improve society while making it as hard as possible for them is completely idiotic at best.
