Although public servants are severely underpaid I don't think the program was as effective because of all the red tape attached to it. Let's face it this administration shows very little interest in education and how the current generation is dealing with student debt, so I'm not surprised at all.
@JarJarBoom: Didn't the students chose the school and amount of debt they were getting into ?

@JarJarBoom: I agree, there should be more Trade and Technical schools then Liberal Arts Institutions & better k-12 programs. College that should be on the individual

@ECHO22: I agree, the problem is during the 80s and 90s there were a lot of for-profit schools popping up that basically didn't do shit and left a lot of students high and dry with useless degrees and a lot of student debt so I think it leaves a lot of younger people Leary of going to trade/technical schools.
@JarJarBoom: True, but; not everyone is suited for college & they are convinced that they have to go, to get a good job, when that's not true. School counselors are being graded by the percentage of college enrollee's .. its turned into a money game all around
