So not all student debt is alike. A Med student


will rack up 6 figure debt....and likely pay it off easily. With interest. Someone who borrows to overpay for some on line university and only makes it halfway through, likely won't.
So if the objective is for the federal government to support secondary education opportunities, the increase in student debt is not de facto a problem, it is the desired outcome, because it indicates more kids are going to college.
A more important question is whether the loans get repaid. But maybe the most important question is whether a public investment in education should be in the form of loans.
Regardless, I have come full circle and agree that Maxine was barking up the wrong tree..although for different reasons than you.
