Tell Democratic Leaders: Support forgiveness of student debt

[Southerner]

3. I have said it many times, and I'll say it again here.

I strongly believe the massive infusion of federal dollars into higher education via Pell Grants and student loans the last 20 years is responsible for the huge (several orders of magnitude beyond inflation) increase in tuition costs. Higher demand, higher costs. Simple.

Cut ALL of that funding out of the federal budget and you watch. All universities will find ways to greatly reduce tuition getting back to basics. They will have to in order to attract students.
