Why I am writing about college debt? This subject has always been an annoyance to me since finding out that the Finnish government would send a check to one of my friends to help pay for her college tuition -- this was on top of what her parents gave her. I just can't understand how a country as wealthy and capable as the good 'ol USA would foster an environment that burdened their students with so much debt. Would it not be a more efficient use of money to pay for our education so that we could focus on making better widgets? All I hear from our current Congress is how China is doing this and that unfairly, when in reality we rely on each other in very complex and beneficial ways. I would like to know when our students (our country's future) are going to be in the top 5 of anything beside sports. I would like that to be one of our main points of focus. What do you think?
