As a European, this notion of college debt is so alien to me. I can't imagine walking out of school as a young person starting life with a six figure debt!

Even without government grants, if I had been a foreign student say, my masters degree would have only been €5,000.

    I know Boomers in the US who graduated from med school with $1500 in 'debt'.

    This is why US politics are the way they are, the weathy 1% get educated, the rest would rather watch their own children die of preventable diseases because they have been educated by Rupert Murdoch or Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk.
