“Any rational person who learns that people are fleeing the country as a result of their student loan debt will conclude that something has gone horribly awry with this lending system,” I agree. The current system is built to shovel money into ever-growing college bureaucracies. Kids are being given loans without a fair chance to repay and are being encouraged to live lives they can't sustain. The whole thing needs a good reset. MOOCs might help. One thing I strongly oppose: foisting the payoff onto the entire population (taxpayers). That makes non-college people (who make very little) foot the bill for this boondoggle.
