When I attended undergraduate school in 2000, tuition was a fraction of what it is today. The incredibly high tuition rates is what is causing the student loan debt numbers to continue to climb. Instead of providing relief for student loan debt, the President should investigate as to why tuition rates have skyrocketed to the numbers they are today. Are the colleges and universities saying that the degrees are worth so much more now than they were even 5 years ago? High tuition rates lead to student loan debt, so finding the source of the problem can help in determining the best solution for student loan debt.
