Why do we (the US) insist on doing everything our own way? And usually worse. The sentiment behind loan forgiveness is great but it doesn’t address any of the core problems. This will only happen again.

Many other first world countries have publicly subsided and affordable higher education. There seem to be plenty of good models to choose from.

If we don’t want to fund higher education then the government needs to step out entirely. As much as I think that’s the wrong way to go. This half-in half-out game that we play in so many areas seems to lead to failure so often. See the disaster that is Amtrak.

Compromise is important but it’s also important to realize when it won’t get you over the finish line. Similar wisdom to building a high-end desktop and not skimping on the PSU.
