There's such an obvious solution to this entire problem yet nobody shills it. Don't let the federal government guarantee the loans, and make them forgivable under bankruptcy. That way, all the useless academic programs will lose funding because nobody will loan an 18 year old 100k for some retarded gender studies degree and lenders will need to actually weigh risk and reward when giving loans out like literally everything fucking else. Start firing professors who teach subjects which are economically unviable.

Not only will all of this solve the student loan debt problem, it would force colleges to lower their outrageous highway robbery tier tuition rates in order to fill classroom seats.

Of course its obvious, but it won't happen in a democracy

All that is going to happen in a democracy is that government is going to grow and debt is going to grow, no matter if democrats or republicans are going to get elected

Kek, everyone in my nation are able to take out a specific student loan of circa $1120 a month for 6 years. Interest rate stands about 0,64%. You don't have to pay back the first year after your degree. Only thing you need is to pass the exams, otherwise youll get an immediate repayment plan.

Not saying to forgive student loans outright, because fuck that. But I dont think the current avg interest rate of 5.5% on these things is ethical either. The interest rate should be pegged to the fed's UB rate once the person has graduated.

So do you think a non-productive country that does nothing but market imported shit is good or bad? I don't really see your point. I don't see "agriculture > manufacturing > services" as a some sort of rule we should be following or an upward trajectory. I think maybe we should have stayed at step 2. Some might even go to another extreme and argue that step 2 and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. Some people like me would argue that all three are necessary for economic stability. You seem to think growing food, manufacturing, and the sex work sector are all mutually inclusive paradigms that occur at separate periods of economic development. Reality is, at the peak of American prosperity, people were growing food, stamping metal, and accounting all at the same time, contrast that to now where agriculture is monopolized, manufacturing is dead, and women are unironically defending prostitution as a career choice.

Nixon had no choice but to take the US off the Breton Woods system. They weren't holding up their end of the bargain, $35 to 1 oz of gold. They kept printing money (some things never change) and the expenses of the Vietnam War took its toll. When France figured this out that the US didn't have the gold reserves to back up the US dollars in circulation, they went and demanded the US let them trade in the French's US dollar reserves for US' gold. Then other countries followed suit. The US didn't have the gold reserves to back up the US dollars. So it was either the US dollar get slapped with hyperinflation or they jump off the BW system. They chose the latter.

He even agreed with you but you skipped over it (somehow while replying to him directly) over here >>17184660 You're essentially trying to argue a point that the conversation isn't about. Yes, service-based economies are bad. The conversation was about how we're unfortunately stuck in one and we need certain fields to have a trained workforce to avoid a collapse. Now for your autistic demand to explain the most basic thing:

>All I'm asking is what you mean by "agriculture > manufacturing > services"
He's saying that's what happened to most countries. It's not about opinion or ideal design or anything, he's literally just saying that's what happened. Let me make it easier for you by adding dashes. I think you're reading it like this

>agriculture < manufacturing < services
When really what he's saying is this
>agriculture -> manufacturing -> services

And what do you mean by "progress"

Are textbooks using the word "progression" in the context of positive advancement, or in a more clinical way like the progression of an illness? Because I often hear from many academics that the development of a service economy is infact a positive change and an economic achievement when reality is that the people living through it are largely suffering financially.


>but it doesnt change the fact that it's a service based economy.

I never denied that most Western employment isn't heavily biased towards the service sector, infact I am literally explaining that this is a problem and not an economic achievement.

I was literally asking you for context. People literally make the point all the time that manufacturing into solely serviced based labor force is progress in the sense that it's a change for the better. The word progression and progress like a lot of English words takes on multiple definitions. I'm sorry that I can't read your mind, you stupid faggot.

I'm gonna level with you here. If you were asking my current graduate level econ prof whether or not the progression to service based economies is a good one, he would undoubtedly say yes.

It's a dynamic and multi faceted topic, and I'm not sure I could even give a well rounded response in a 4chan post but I'll give you my honest opinion on what I think.

To start off, the us has transitioned to a service economy, theres no denying this. It is a fact of life. What does that mean for the average person born in American for the last 50-70 years when the transition from manufacturing to service happened? Well that's hard to say (again) in the 50s we were in full swing of a baby boom, population surge, technology increasing the levels of productivity to unseen levels, consumer demand at an ath for every type of good both domestically and internationally, no major economic blocs to really compete against (Soviets dont count they cant feed themselves) and remember this is an age where people just started to have things to have them, 30 years before this and horse was the preferred method of transportation. So yeah it's very easy to look back at the beginning of the baby boom when our manufacturing basin was in full swing and was about to be completely replaced with service jobs as "the best time ever".

So now that I have a historical framework in place as to why there rose tinted glasses for the manufacturing economic phase of the us, here is a thought experiment. Its 1890, you're a worker at a plant that often withholds wages and fires people on a whim, you're outside protesting for your wages to be scheduled and honored. Suddenly Pinkertons show and start blasting, you take a bullet in your spine and you cant work again. You succumb to alcoholism and exposure and die 15 years later. See? Theres peaks and valleys to each type of economy.

The way I see it now, the us is the big kid on the block militarily speaking, no one can touch us, that's good

I understand that, but I was speaking only in terms of economics. Of course people breath in noxious fumes and get sucked into machinery. I think that's more of a symptom of where technology existed at that period of time anyways. In fact, the gilded age of the late 19th century lead to incredible increase of life expectancy for Americans. I think factory owners hiring union busting thugs to beat up demonstrators was not as common as historians like to make you think. My great grandparents were all Irish and Polish immigrants that came to the Northeast to work in mills. They lived a hell of a lot longer than their relatives in the homeland. They were a heck of a lot wealthier too. They bought homes, they had families, they could afford to go to the hospital if they needed to go. We literally can't. I think any professor that argues this is even remotely better is wrong, most adults can't even do what came naturally to our ancestors, such as having a family.

That means less war risk for the avg person.

Crime is going down, that's good.

People are living longer, that's good.

The country is almost energy independent, that's good.

The average american has access to unlimited information in the form of phones being designed in country that are the most advanced in the world, that's good.

There is an abundance of financing for every single need an average citizen could want, that's good.

Now, let's go over some perceived bad things.

Healthcare, not the best, if you have a corporate job or any salaried job then usually you're sitting pretty, if not you're fucked. Not saying give healthcare to everyone, fuck niggers.

Financial independence and health, well this is a tough pill to swallow, if we are being completely honest, the reason most americans dont have 1500 dollars in their checking account is because they're fucking retards who deserve to be ass fucked when they dont know where money comes from or how to read a balance sheet or an income statement. I'm sorry but it's as simple as that.

Point I'm trying to make is, the baseline standard of living for the average american is good, if not better than ever. People will cry all day about the average family's financial well being but they'll never investigate any further. Does dick really need to have NFL pass? Does Jane really need to have 30 pairs of shoes? Maybe people should save their money instead of buying retarded consumables so they could have bought a house instead and taken advantage of historic low interest rates. And dont start with yeah but how are we supposed to save when I'm only getting .05% on my deposits, put it into an s&p, if you cant see that the economy even as a service economy is built so that capital needs to be funneled into some sort of productivity to make the holder of that capital more money, then I dont know what to tell you.

A semester GPA of <2.0 puts you on academic probation here. A C- is a 1.75.
My school will suspend scholarships if you go on probation. I managed to actually get some of it back except for the state scholarship (which got the appeal denied) but not enough to completely cover tuition. I work part time for a science facility at the school which pays enough to cover living expenses but I still needed to take out to cover my last couple semester. Granted, it wasn't all that much compared to most schools (tuition is 3300 a semester) but dropping out would put me in a way worse position.

I wouldn't even say agriculture moved onto manufacturing and changed paradigms. People still had the option to be farmers, and farming became easier thanks to industrial innovations. They existed simultaneously. The rural folk raised sheep and then sold wool to the urban factories who turned it into clothing, and then the service sector would employ machinists to repair industrial equipment. Agriculture, manufacturing, and the service sector were three parts that made up a whole. It is not a progression or an advancing of paradigms, these three things are supposed to exist together, not seperaretly
