Student loan debt in the United STates has reached over 1 trillion (with a "t") dollars. Due to the skyrocketing cost of college (which had increased significantly even when accounted for with inflation), some have proposed new reforms from making college free to forgiving all student debt to freezing tuition cost.
Why do you think the cost of college has increased so much?
How can the price go down?
What methods should (or not) be implemented to deal with this?
What message does this new generation need to know about college? Is it worth it? Is it the failure of the American education system to prepare people for college? Is it the fault of the student for majoring in a degree they may not find employment in or the fault of a society that inspires people to be what they want to be?

Define crippling debt por favor. I was under the impression that many people come out with upwards of 30k in debt (public school, this taken into account with interest for the loans). The average loan takes 2 decades to pay off. My question is how much would it cost to make all public universities free.

If you come out with more than 30k in debt then you did it wrong, and frankly I don't know how much it would cost, and honestly I don't care, people shouldn't be forced to pay for others education

they should pay if they want to live in devolped country, if they choose aristocratic attitude eventually they will have to choose between financing them or letting them die.

The US is already a developed country, and will remain so for the foreseeable future, all without people being forced to pay for others education

letting tens of millions fall to poority (i assume? how many people there depend on government aid in education?) would'nt make the economy better, at the short term you would'nt feel it but eventually you will pay the price.

poority isn't a word first of all, the word you're thinking of is poverty, and that's why all aid to the poor should be cut as well, even though it isn't necessarily bad having poorer, less educated citizens, someone needs to do jobs like work at fast food restaurants, collect trash, and be janitors, you don't need college educated people to do those jobs

So let me get this straight the great nation of USA does not subside public or private colleges and universities? Even Vietnam subsidies colleges and universities and we broke as shit.

maybe that's why you're so broke

I'm not very concerned, honestly.
Free college? Join ROTC (you'll have to serve 4-6 years after graduation) in college OR enlist before college then go to college (guaranteed to help study habits, improve school performance, and the military will pay). Or affirmative action, which lowers graduation standards and helps pay for college on the basis of skin color (quite derogatory and racist, we shouldn't even have that).
Of course, not everyone is able to go into the military (I can only go into the Air Force because of hearing) and not everyone meets the skin-tone requirement for affirmative action "opportunities." But for those who are paying for college, I usually hear of people taking up until their 40s to finish paying off student debt (not sure how it is for the middle and upper income classes, I doubt those in the upper income class even have to worry about student debt).
