Not a fucking one of which do anything substantial or impact anything even resembling a root cause. Putting another couple pieces of paper in front of highschoolers detailing the total financial cost - while literally everyone in their lives encourages them to pursue college as the next step in their lives - and even mentioning that plan in the same breath as 'tackle student loan debt' is assinine. Hell, even if you were going to try and fix the problem with a fucking disclosure, you'd do it by presenting and making a case for attractive alternative options. Because realistically loads of people go to college after highschool because it has been the expectation of everyone they have known their entire lives AND symbolizes their opportunity to escape whatever the local body breaking labor is. But if you wanted to convince me that you were serious then you'd go after the money. Probably lots of great ways to stop treating 18 year olds like great long term debt instruments but I think treating student loans as a normal form of debt that is dischargeable by bankruptcy would be a fine place to start. Beyond the obvious effects of supporting effectively arbitrary price increases for that market - I don't think its possible to construct a sound moral argument that excuses removing a crucial safety valve on a debt that is also very large and targeted towards people that have only recently stopped being children.
