Helping people with overwhelming student loan debt sounds nice until you look at where the money comes from. In order to help people who foolishly took out massive student loans to get useless degrees, the government is stealing money from those who paid off their student loans, worked hard so they had no student loans, or didn't go to college and are working hard at blue collar jobs. This is theft! This is slavery! This is wrong!
Instead of stealing from those who made wise decisions to help those who made foolish decisions, maybe we should start teaching kids to make better decisions regarding college. Not everyone is better off going to college. People should look at tuition costs and go to cheaper colleges if they go to college. People need to look at whether a major will actually help them to succeed in life (HINT: victomology degrees make you less likely to get a job because no employer, in their right mind, will hire someone who has learned to be a victim because it insures getting sued). People also need to look at tradeoffs. Maybe a person will get a higher wage if they go to college, but a person who choses to not go to college starts earning a living 4+ years earlier. They don't have the cost of college and they definitely don't have the interest on college loans. If you take what they earn over a lifetime and compare it to what a college grad makes over a lifetime minus the cost of college and college loans, the person, who skipped college, will frequently do better. Obviously it varies. A doctor/lawyer/engineer who picked a state college and worked to get scholarships is definitely going to be better off than a person who didn't go to college and never gets any skills and works at fast food and retail establishments. On the other hand, a person who gets on the job training as a plumber/electrician/welder is going to be much better off than a person who gets a victomology degree (women's studies, black studies, gender studies) and goes to an expensive private college and takes out large student loans.
We need to teach wise choices, not one size fits all solutions.
