What is really driving this push to reduce student loans?
Are the feds losing money on students getting basket weaving degrees who default on their loans?
Are the feds cutting their support so that banks can charge even higher rates for degrees that will obviously remain in high demand (like nursing)?
Is this to enforce classism in some professions? I.e., if you can't already afford a degree in XYZ, then the government won't cosign your student loan. Thus, the field of XYZ ends up being solely lottery winners and trust-fund kids?
Is this just Project2025/MAGA assholery to appeal to Heritage Foundation donors?
I'm asking because the whole thing seems as random to me as gnomes stealing underpants.
