Senator Murray should understand that "college costs are rising exponentially" because government subsidies for it are also "rising exponentially".

Should also make the loans dischargeable in bankruptcy.

Democrats broadly oppose putting limits on the federal student-loan program, as they believe it exists in part to extend credit to people who traditionally have had trouble obtaining private loans.

...

Student loans are used to subsidize the liberals working at universities and colleges.

The government ruined education like everything else. In this day and age with the internet and connectivity, higher education should be commoditized and nearly free.

no government backed loans will drop the price fast

So will taking the costs of the student loan decable out of the hides of the schools that benefited from them.

Let them sell equipment, and property and empty endowments and pay off the loans.

I am done with the elite gouging the people.

and tired of their choir whining that the wrongness it somehow the people’s fault.

College loan limits should be tied somehow to the future earnings potential of the major that the student chooses. Start with Starbucks Baristas, and work backwards to see what the most common college major was for those people. Cold provide some interesting results, with real world numbers, not college faculty lounge fantasies.

There should also be restrictions on what majors would qualify for loans.

Ex: No loans for Gender Studies, Philosophy, or Liberal Arts majors.

Qualified majors should include STEM, Business, Healthcare/Medical.

The Administration should do better at promoting the GI bill as well (with same major restrictions).

Dunning Kruger... stupid people are too stupid to know how stupid they really are... that, along with not knowing the true value of a dollar, or how tediously long hours of working shift drudgery are when you earn low wages! They’ll never be out of debt, ever!

GI Bill might have been a better option for many of them, they could have actually learned something useful and recieved many excellent clues about life along the way.

Useless degreed knuckleheads, all of them!

Should be $0 for all. A college loan should be no different than any other loan. Go to a bank like everyone else.
