People seem to blame the people giving out loans or the people receiving them. However, isn't this all the colleges fault for dramatically increasing their tuition over the last 20ish years?

Student loan forgiveness would be nice for the people who currently have student loan debt, but tomorrow, a whole new group of young people will be signing these loans and so what then? If the cost of higher education is allowed to rise unchecked, we are just going to continue to have this problem, no matter how many times we forgive loan debt.

IMO we need policies similar to rent control on college tuition.
