This has nothing to do with which states voted for who. Look at the correlation between post grad degrees and voting tendencies. Then look up who holds the majority of student loan debt. Try and ignore where they live because that’s irrelevant.While Dem states have the most loans, Republican states have the most in default. Seems that Dems are, as you note, being responsible.
But neither one of our comments get to fixing the issue at hand.
As far as fixing the issue, there is no appetite for that in our current society. with all of your reading on the subject I’m sure you understand that the cost of higher education skyrocketed as soon as the fed gov decided to back student loans. The fix is simple, but unlikely to happen. Get the gov out of the student loan business. Want to borrow money for school? Convince a lender that what you are pursuing will produce a return for them. Might force prospective students to reconsider racking up $200k in debt and wasting 6 years of their lives studying lesbian dance theory and learning how many different genders there are when banks explain that their endeavors don’t exactly look promising as far as generating income and ability to pay back loan debts.
furthermore I think it’s insane that 18 year olds are put in a position to think they have to commit to such staggering amounts of debt when their brains have not even fully developed and their life experience is essentially zero. But it doesn’t really matter what I think. Or anyone else. The system is not going to be reformed without putting up a serious fight. Good luck taking on the institutions that profit off of our current situation lol we can’t even get the fat lazy public school teachers to go back to work as it is. You think the ones at universities are going to take a pay cut by allowing tuition prices to drop? Lol
