You sound like a cigarette executive. "The real problem is we don't start em smoking before they leave the hospital. We could increase our profits 33% if every baby was exposed to nicotine before they leave the hospital."
Maybe not all people in society should be socially required to purchase an expensive good, thus causing demand to be infinite, meaning price can only skyrocket.
Given the number of Masters degrees working minimum wage or starting jobs now maybe we should admit we have a problem.
Those are two separate issues and it is only prudent that parents relive their children of crushing debt. Would you rather parents piss away their wealth on frivolities?
Passing on wealth is the hallmark of a wealthy society and it's rocket fuel that elevates us beyond destitution. Whether it is debt relief, real estate property, or arcane financial instruments -- passing on wealth to their children is the right of every parent.
The efficacy of master's degrees is unrelated to the social responsibility of post-secondary education funding. You might as well argue we all starve ourselves to pressure the government to do something about it.
The real issue behind student debt growth is payment, and with the US Government as a guarantor then growth potential is effectively infinite. Colleges will continue to feast unabated.
Ok. Let's replace "saving for college" with "saving for the child's introduction to adult life". If you bring children into the world, it's your responsibility to do whatever possible to plan for their future as early as possible. If we've decided that people can't contribute to society until they're 23, they're going to need some investment for their early adulthood, whether it's college, vocational school, doing art and working minimum wage in a big city.
