Many people don't realize it, but the United States government does not control the United States currency. The Federal Reserve is a private business.

America is the land where all your hopes and dreams can come true. Anyone with a drive to learn more should have an equal and fair opportunity to attend college. We could only fantasize about free college education. Student debt is expected to rise from $35,000 to $45,000 in the next generation and will only continue to go up.

This article dives into the issue if income quality has decreased, as well as its level of importance.

As much as I would love to see free education, it would not be free because it would come down to the average tax payer to pay for it. I do however wish to see lower interest rates.

I wish education could be 100% free. Everyone is always pushing us younger people to pursue a college degree without knowing that college isn't just a sign up and go kind of thing. You have to pay thousands of dollars either out of pocket or by federal funding.

Like the article you linked states, student loans and the excessive amount people spend on an education results in them becoming bankrupt before even starting out.
