The amount of student debt, according to Mark Cuban's website Collegedebt.com, is $1.3 Trillion Dollars. Tuition costs are increasing forcing students to take out more loans. Education is the building block for a more innovative America. Congress must act, there will be a point where the amount of student loans for any degree will outweigh the benefits. Putting a cap on the amount of loans a college is allowed to accept from each student, or a cap on the amount of loans a student can take out, could force universities to decrease tuition. Congress and the Obama administration need to agree that education is a priority and something needs to be done.
