Acting like the students taking these loans are the only problem in this F’d up higher education system is just being obtuse. As others have pointed out, university administrators are straight criminals.
The reality is this student loan problem isn't something Democrats really want to fix, because it's all working in their favor right now.
1. From elementary school on, kids are taught by government-run schools that they need a college education from government-run schools.
2. These government-run universities just keep making up useless majors, so everyone has a nonsensical degree field they can move into.
3. There aren't enough jobs for these garbage degrees, so they create a need for an entirely new career fields (example: diversity and equity). All of a sudden, these degrees mean something.
4. And just like that, you've changed the entire landscape of the American workforce.
It is a predatory system that is converting people and industries into communists while also telling them that capitalism is the problem. The GOP has to fix it. College loans aren't just a "you took a loan, pay it back" problem. They are destroying our country. Simply being a debt bubble is only one way.

This is partly true, but as someone else pointed out, there are way more occupations nowadays that require a college degree than ever before. Even if the things you learned in college are not at all relevant to the job. It’s their screening tool to make sure you aren’t a complete dumbass (take that FWIW), like a HS diploma was previously.

Government run is irrelevant; they are all the same in this regard. State schools and private schools all offer BS degrees bc they are all massively bloated and need to be cut….but there is no incentive to do so as far as they are concerned.

Agreed, they justify their own existence by hiring their own people, and the cycle continues.

Couldn’t agree more.
