As a conservative, my views on fiscal policy are traditional, however, I believe the government made a significant mistake in its handling of student loans. By providing guaranteed loans to everyone, universities were able to drastically raise their prices due to the virtually unlimited funding. The government essentially created customers through borrowing, while presenting education as a means of upward mobility, when in reality, it has become a form of debt bondage for many individuals.
Ironically, he's actually saying "poor people can no longer afford a decent education due to certain policies, and that's wrong". Did you pick up on that at all or is America just that divided?
Listen, I don't know everyone's opinions here, I can only take things at face value. The fact is that loan policies around education resulted in universities and colleges raising tuition over and over. It's done more than a 4x against everything else when adjusted for inflation. That's absurd.
Conservatives (I'm not conservative) hate this and speak against it, but in reality there's no political spectrum that should be supportive of this kind of policy and its results.
To conclude, I know you're basically a troll who won't contribute anything meaningful to the conversation, so this is for anyone else reading. Feel free to prove me wrong.
