Is it not ironic that again a politician, in this case the POTUS, can only see a solution where citizens borrow more money. Far be it from the POTUS to look at the broader picture and ask why tuition rates have increased twice as fast as the rate of inflation over the past three decades. Is it possible the government itself has created another bubble by guaranteeing college loans, making them available to virtually anyone for any kind of degree? So the colleges being smart business people simply increase the tuition costs since they know the government will provide loans to the students, regardless of the value of the degree.
But the narrow minded POTUS makes an issue of a 1 or 2 point change in the interest when the more salient issue is the inflated cost of tuition. And he asks no questions as to the value of the non-science degrees in the job market.

There’s nothing ironic about it. It’s all according to plan. You make sure that children graduate from high school with no education. Then, you herd them into college and force them into debt that will ruin their lives during early adulthood, limiting their family, job, and location choices. By the time they are middle age, they are beaten and just trying to survive. Then, they can age and be grateful for an early death at the hands of a benevolent government death panel.
You take all that hopelessness and then take away their connection to God and you have the Marxist “utopia” that 9 out of 10 dictators prefer!
I did four years at about 5k a year, ended with zero debt.
Took me 8 years going to school and working, but it got done.
In the first place the Government has no business loaning any one money to go to college.
Any man or woman that can work and put them selves through college are trust worthy and they are numerous, but the ones who gets help from the Government to go to school will most likely end up in Government and keep on robbing the tax payers.
Get Government out of every thing that was meant to be FREE interprize.
