Questionmarktarius 09/14/19 4:44:11 AM #2:	What should happen: End the federal student loan program entirely. What will happen: Token reform that accomplishes nothing except feelgoodism and a hollow political "win" What probably ought to happen: zero out the interest rates, and make it easier to get into the "Extended Graduated" payment plan. Colleges do not want "free" college at all. That's essentially price-fixing via monosony, in contrast to the currently easy student loans being the driving force behind runaway tuition. https://www.forbes.com/sites/prestoncooper2/2017/02/22/how-unlimited-student-loans-drive-up-tuition/ (forbes warning) <cite>Questionmarktarius posted [p:927417802] in Do you thi...
