You mean for pay?

From birth until 5? The years a child most needs his mother?

Usury does not equal zero percent.

Yes, it would be nice to go back to the 1950s, where families could afford to have only the husband work. Middle class parents now pay about $1000 a month for daycare because they can’t afford for the mother not to work. But you know this.

Make colleges back the loans themselves! That’s how to fix this mess. These institutions have no skin in the game and that needs to change.

There are strong data that 4-year degrees are not being sought by high school graduates as in previous years. Associate’s Degrees, trade schools, online courses and specialty certificates are eroding demand.

If this trend continues, and universities and colleges feel it, the free market will impact the student loan program one way or another.

Let’s see.

Good for the children.

I am not advocating either changing the law or declaring bankruptcy to avoid paying off school loans.

Balogna. They could if they lived at the level people did in the fifties, tiny house, one car, no cable and internet or smartphone etc. Most of them are sacrificing their kids to have more stuff, they should never have had kids if stuff is more important to them.

That’s a good thing, let’s hope that continues. Typically 1/4 to 3/4 of the coursework at the traditional 4 year college is on a practical level a complete waste of time and money. Higher education is in serious need of reform.

And they would have to pay for that through their property taxes. The goal is to get all those additional grade levels into the public school system and more people into the teachers unions. There will be people with masters degrees changing diapers. No thank you, I would rather pay the private sector. I did the math for this as an NJ resident and homeowner you would pay double in property taxes over a 30 year period than the typical daycare costs for those five years in the private sector.

Affordable tiny homes then vs overpriced apartments now
Landlines vs smartphones
One new car vs two used cars
Small debt vs crushing debt

If things are so much better now, people wouldn’t want to “Make America Great Again.”

The average student is going to forget about 90% of any of the content they learn in school anyway. So what is the whole purpose of accreditation when most of your customers aren’t even going to keep the knowledge once they finish the course?

My mistake.
