Yep. I recently read about American students who fled America for Germany because of their student loans. 

 

Was it just to avoid paying them? My wife's student loans eat over a quarter of our joint income! She lives in the UK with me now. But her parents are co signers so if she does paying, they'd go after her parents instead, which I don't think would go down well.

 

I think if they made tuition totally free, they'd also have to look at helping existing graduates with their repayments. Finding something in the middle lowering graduate repayments to sensible amounts (and the same for future students) would be a better place and easy to start making college more affordable.

I dont think they had co signers. It didn't  sound like they wouldn't have left their parents with the bill. They did sound like they wanted to avoid the US as much as possible. I don't even think they cared if they came back. Things were just as good in Germany, if not better for them.

Im rather confused by this current crop of politicians running. No one seems to strike my fancy and Rand Paul is out of the equation. The only people who will help out the situation will be anti-establishment politicians and the only one left seems to be Bernie.
