Comment on Biden Announces $7.4B in Student Debt Cancellation for 277,000 Americansparent

Comments

don't seem to be fixing the underlying issue at all

Rollback higher-ed policy changes since the 70s. (h/t Gov Reagan, James Calhoun)

Restore govt subsidizes of higher ed, govt issues loans and financial aid, bankruptcy protections, etc.

I'd hope treating higher ed as a public hood, instead of business focused on wealth extraction and hoarding, would help address some of the other "greed is good" pathologies too. Grade inflation, credentialism, focus on STEM at expense of trades and liberal arts, anti labor strategies like reduction of tenture, etc.
