The student loan program has only served to put students in debt and put them at a weaker position in the economy. Where other countries in Europe feel that education is a right and does not put their students in debt because they chose to pursue an education and better themselves, our system chooses to punish students. Increasing grants is simply not enough. Either the government provides more ways to abolish student debt or chooses the better of option of making public institutions affordable by covering the cost of tuition. I have started this petition here also:
