"A horrible precedent of slightly more affordable education.

Born into indentured servitude? Work it off."

These are poor defenses of the current US debt system.

Cases of precedent affect legislation.

But it’s not more affordable education? It’s just funneling federal dollars into the education industry, which is such blatant corruption I don’t get why anyone was ever for it. If you want to make education more affordable then start by… reducing the cost of education?

There are plenty of campaigns against for-profit debt already making progress.

Besides, the data is already all out there, and that’s what I’m interested in spreading.

Costs less than a percent of the US budget to pay for free higher education, and in 2-8 years, the US would have a new productive generation of doctors, scientists, engineers and other professionals. It’s a pretty obvious win.
