Student Loan forgiveness. What has been put forth to stop the issuing of future loans?

Let’s say, the govt just says you know what we got some bad loans on the books and we should not have issued all these student loans so we are going to forgive these and wipe the state clean.
Loan forgiveness would seem to indicate that the loans were “bad” in the first place. Thus, the lender would not want to issue future loans wherein they do the same thing and then risk having to “forgive” these future loans.
If Mashed Potatus has forgiven billions in student loan debt, has he also halted the issuance of similar types of loans presently and in the future?
It appears counterintuitive to forgive loans, referred to as "Bad Loans," and then continue issuing new loans under the same criteria that led to the creation of the "Bad Loans."
Perhaps caps on lending. Maybe you would start seeing these bloated tuition amounts start to go down.
Perhaps limits on what majors are eligible for loans.
Perhaps loans contingent on ROI for the borrower and thus the govt by having a productive member of society that will contribute for the next 40 yrs in the form of tax collected via their paycheck in said discipline. No good ROI. NO LOANS

Nothing. They are forgiving billions of dollars of loans, but doing nothing to stop the new loans. They are not even attempting to solve the problem.
This is akin to offering amnesty to illegals, without fixing the border to prevent new illegals from entering.

If you have a kid going to college, are you just stupid if you advise against them taking out an offered loan that is not really needed at this point?

It's even worse than simply not fixing the problem - it's going to make the problem even worse.
College tuition has inflated by a ridiculous amount over the past 20-30 years. Much higher than just about anything else. And now they are going to keep raising it even more knowing Democrats will just cancel out all of the bad paper and roll it into our ballooning national deficit.
If the Federal Government announced new legislation to reimburse every American up to $500 for any money spent on candy bars then what do you think will happen to the price of that Snickers bar down at the corner market?
Republicans need to drive this message home to suburban moms. The Starbucks barista got $100k forgiven but your kid is going to pay a LOT more for college in a few years and there won't be another bailout by the time they graduate so you better vote for someone who is committed to fixing the problem at the source rather than throwing a bucket of gas on the fire.

How about a student loan in return for 10 years in the military ?

Unneeded loans should not be taken out. Despite all the hoopla, no loans have been forgiven for just regular people. It's mostly been where fraud was concerned with some of these for-profit schools, or for public service and government workers, and a few other niche situations.

The university system is a jobs program for otherwise unemployable people who spent years inventing worthless fields of study.
They are all the most reliably Democratic voting base, so in return the dems pump more money into the system. They churn out more people with worthless degrees, forgive the debt, loan money pays the professors teaching the worthless classes, rinse and repeat. Since the loans are forgiven, there is no incentive to control the cost. There is no incentive to only teach marketable skills.
It’s the biggest scam ever and you are paying for it through taxes and inflation.

Maybe years based on amount of money borrowed. You can't say someone who borrowed 2,000 vs 80,000 serve the same time.
