I’m very aware of the student loan crisis but disagree the answer is less college, less education. That’s just stagnation, regression, decline. It’s important to our country, our society, individuals, to have more and better education.
Nor is the answer just fixing an exploitive and extractive industry profiting from student loans, although yes we need to.
The answer is less student loans. This is where focussing on two additional years as the base education is critical. We can refocus on cheaper options than standard universities, and we can leverage government investments in its people, to improve everyone’s education with no student loans

Definitely was not suggesting less college / less education, just that the idea of telling people that they must have a college education and that the only way to do that is to incur a mountain of debt is in need of some readjustment.
