re: how to solve the student loan crisis?

I had 2 kids graduate with BS from public state universities this year. One of them somehow decided she needed a loan to finish up, about $13,000. The other one owes nothing. Both gainfully employed by the time they graduated. So when I hear this bullshite about high student loans I have to wonder what the bloody hell kids do to get so much student debt. Do they borrow to the hilt and sit on their asses for 4 or 5 years?
