Ron Paul wants to phase out federal student loans

More reason that Libertarianism as a philosophy is dangerous for the country. At least American libertarians could become accepting of some government programs like their European counterparts.

I don't even understand the logic in this. Federal loans aren't perfect, but they at least give an opportunity for everyone to go to college even if they have debt afterwords. Ideally state universities should be free like most countries in the world, but obviously too many Americans would rather maintain an inequality gap in universities that contribute some more in taxes every year to help better education. Getting rid of student loans helps education how exactly? States should be expected to allocate adequate funding for students? Do you think a place like California or Texas should be trusted with that responsibility when their state governments are dominated by batsh*t crazies? No wonder Paul is dropping in the polls with ideas like that. It's one thing to be opposed to the Department of Education, but forcing students to go cold turkey without college loans is dangerous and cruel.
