One half is easy access to loans, the other half is student debt relief programs.
Between the two, colleges know they can charge absurd prices and pocket the money.
It's awful, and I wish someone was doing something to stop this. It cannot go like this forever.
...which student debt relief programs?
Afaik there are no widely used student debt relief programs.
"By the department's last count, only 1% of the people who think they've made their 10 years of payments and apply for loan forgiveness are getting approved.
If you took all the people getting rejected and got them together in one place, Peterson says, you'd have "football stadiums full of nurses, firefighters, teachers, law enforcement officers that are seeking to have their debts forgiven.""
Its only half the problem because you'll still see inflated housing as well but at least its something.
