I agree definitely need to reorganize colleges. That said forgiving debt is like giving someone Tylenol for a fever. It's a symptom and doesn't address all the reasons why college is so expensive and why people who don't need college are pushed into going.
I think you hit the nail on the head with this one. The issues you've addressed here are somewhat parallel to the issues plaguing the heatlh care system....
Educational Institution: Well, since loans are available we can charge what we want!
Bank: Since Educational Institutions charge so much, you need loans!
Doctors, Hospitals, Pharms, Medical Device companies: Don't worry about the price, that's what insurance is for!!
Insurance companies: Since Medical care costs so much, you need insurance!!
Notice in neither price is addressed. On a very superficial level, I like the idea of Socialized Medicine, but unless they tackle gouging in a serious manner, all it means is more cost to people already paying....
