The GOP package, called the “Lowering Education Costs and Debt Act,” consists of five bills that the senators say will address the root causes of the student debt issue such as the increasing price of college and students taking out loans they can’t afford.
I don’t think this will do much of anything, except for the graduate loans section. You can educate people on the cost of school all you want, if someone needs to finish school they’ll take on whatever debt they need to.
Best solution is to just make it free. I feel like the investment will just pay for itself when you have more people with degrees able to fill more jobs, bolstering the workforce.
