The problem is colleges just will keep charging more because they know people will just keep getting them knowing the gov will cover it eventually. The fix isn't to have the gov. Cover some loans, it should be to stop letting colleges be run like a private sector.

Jokes on you, they already keep charging more.

I bet if the government is footing the bill they will demand lower tuition. And unlike lowly poor people, the government is someone they will have to listen to.

You aren't wrong with your point. But both should be true.

Should we call it Educare or Educaid?

colleges are charging more, and as a result, fewer students are attending.

College will once again be only for the wealthy.

But plenty of people have discovered college is not necessary to thrive in life anyway.

John Oliver covered this topic, and according to him, that's not the case at all.

There's sadly no big conspiracy to keep people uneducated. Only basic greed. Simple problem with a simple solution (this is rarely the case) but corporate America will never admit it.
