Governor DeSantis has an idea to stop all of the out of control spending and student loans. Make the Universities take some responsibility for the out of control debt. If they had to be pony up some dollars, they'd stop allowing students to take these worthless degrees. Sounds like a great idea!
Make the universities liable for student loans.

Yes!!!! These institutions have been turning a teenagers signature into cold hard cash for years without being held accountable at all!

They'd start thinking twice about saddling teenagers with debt if they had to hold some culpability for the loan.
This is the only investment where you’d counsel someone you love to borrow 10x their net worth, make a single investment with it and then just hope 5 years from now it pays off.

It’s also the largest uninsured investment you’ll probably ever make.
Insurance solves this. And…
This is exactly why many parents have wised up and now are encouraging their kids to take dual enrollment in high school, attend state schools or trade schools.
Allow student loans to be discharged in bankruptcy and that will fix 80% of this.

Lenders would start evaluating degree/career track & credit worthiness. Lenders would enter guarantor deals with schools directly or schools would need to offer income based repayment.

If lenders knew their loans weren't super special loans people could never get rid of, they'd be more careful about who they gave them to.
Obama federalized the student loan industry & removed all of the common sense policies that the private lenders had implemented to determine how much money students in different degree programs were lent, with the sole intention of saddling an entire generation in perpetual debt.

He screwed that up just like he screw up health insurance.
Cancel the student loan program. Discharge the current loans and eliminate the loan program.

Schools can provide their own guarantees on loans if they want to. If a student wants to take advantage of the loan program, make them take a personal finance course first.
💯 Students should demand refund for useless degrees!

Or eliminate the federal government’s involvement in student loans. Who could imagine defaults on loans with no underwriting? The Congressional Budget Office said the federal takeover would save $68 billion. Instead, we expect nearly $500 billion in defaults. Turn it off!

Maybe the federal government should go back to doing what it was originally intended to do and stay out of college loans altogether.
It is fraud on a massive scale, but it is government-sanctioned and aligns with liberal-progressive values so it is not treated as such. https://t.co/OhPNrOdRAk

Americans should stop pretending it's a good idea and wrap it up.
