Exactly this! I'm also for loan forgiveness but for fuck sake tuition is raising at a rate detached from inflation and reality and no one is willing to blame the schools for anything.... Help the poor students struggling with debt, but do it while also fixing the system so FUTURE students don't also have the same problems. I don't understand sometimes
My school loans are paid off but I’m all about student loan forgiveness.  It’s not right to send young people into adulthood in crippling debt simply for getting educated.  
I’d much rather my tax money go toward helping people (and by extension, our country) than going into an already-bloated military budget or used to offset the loss of tax revenue from keeping billionaires rich.  Too many people don’t realize that raising the floor on the standard of living in this country makes life better for everyone - even if one specific policy doesn’t affect them directly.  Economics trickle up, not down. >

Why is the cause of the massive rise in tuition costs never addressed when we talk about the student loan crisis? College costs have increased at almost twice the rate of healthcare costs in the US. Instead of fighting about loan forgiveness, why aren't we demanding accountability from the institutions that are at the root of this mess?
