The cost of college tuition is sky high, but the price of clothing at Costco is very inexpensive. We explore government’s role in causing prices to rise and student debt to expand.

Biden’s Plan to Cancel Student Debt

Liberals in Congress are pushing Biden to cancel $10,000 of student debt. But is that enough? Bernie and Warren want $50K in relief. We break down Biden’s student debt plan, who gets it, and how much. Meanwhile Chuck Schumer says that canceling student debt is the moral thing to do. But is it moral to shift your debt burden on to innocent people today or in future generations?

College Tuition (and Student Debt) is too Damn High!

Cancelling debt may offer relief, but it doesn’t solve the core problem of the high price of college tuition. We explore a number of ways to reduce the cost and expand access, such as:

Expanding access to online learning at accredited universities.
Allowing tax deduction of the full amount of college tuition.
Ending the practice of making student debt ineligible for bankruptcy
Consider niche online skill development outside the scope of college that are much more affordable like Skill Share.

When the so many industries like higher education, housing and healthcare are soaring in price, apparel is getting less expensive. We explore some of the key reasons why.
