Government should put an end to ridiculous debt machines that are the US college/university and healthcare systems.

These systems are not designed to serve the people, they are designed to put regular Americans into crippling debt that they then have to pay interest on for the rest of their lives (or at least their 20s/30s) so that rich investors can make money off their debt. 

The US education system is a scam. It can be $20,000/year to go to even an "average" school ... that is fucking ridiculous. People shit on millenials, but these kids are being set up to fail when they have $40-$50k in debt before they even get into their mid-20s. 

Put an end to it...? It's .gov who designed that debt machine, and they want those people inslaved for live. The more plan fails, the more the planners plan.

Government doesn't design the "debt machine". Investors do. Lots of rich people make lots of money from debt interest. They'll loan you money, sure. You just have to sign over your life to them and pay them for the rest of your life if you want a college education, a house, a car, and want to be able to step foot into a hospital if you're sick or dying. 

This is how the economy works. 

IMO there should be much more restrictive regulations on things like for-profit education and health care. These are not fields that need to be for profit. If you want to start a fucking business making donughts or whatever, fine, great, be an entreprenuer. But slashing regulations on things like health care and education is basically giving corporations a green light to go ahead and rape people for the privelege of going to school or getting treatment of anything. 

Take out the profit motive from these sectors, it's disgusting and amoral. No child should have to go to a paid private school just to get a decent education, many people can't pay their rent/mortgage as is, now Trump is doing this while promising huge tax breaks for the wealthiest. This is ridiculous. This is not change at all, it's an acceleration of everything that's already wrong.
