Since 2009, the outstanding federal loan debt owed to the government has jumped by 463 percent. This is a prime example of what happens when the Gov’t meddles in open markets. Traditionally, those who really wanted a college education worked, saved and did whatever they could to enlighten themselves via the college experience. The demand for said enlightenment, historically, has been steadily increasing at a stable rate. The Government, in their infinite wisdom, saw this demand and decided it need to be greater. Thus leading to federal loans handed out like MDMA at a fraternity on Friday night. Now we have an artificially inflated demand, slack jawed collegians, and a plethora of liberal arts majors out of work. Good thing we have an abundance of welfare nets and HealthCare.gov.
