Election Issues #5: Can Competition Control Student Debt?

friend,

Forgiving student debt and increasing education subsidies are popular ideas on the campaign trail this year.

But what would happen if the United States actually forgave student debt?

Would someone else have to pay the loans?

Would tuition prices start falling at last?

Would schools stop spending so much on bureaucrats and disc-golf courses?

Prof. Don Boudreaux says there’s another way to get soaring tuition costs under control: allow greater competition in higher education.

What do you think? Could cutting the subsidies to schools and students actually make education cheaper?

Cheers,
