Regarding your second sentence, I agree. I was actually going to put that in my comment, but I thought it was a little off topic.

Allan, re: last PP, “Yes” and “Yes”. Meanwhile, schools are able to hike up tuition at a rate greatly disproportionate to inflation, or the anticipated time-value benefit of most degrees they offer – with very little information available publicly to differentiate between the marginal value of one college’s course of study in a given field over another.

Doesn’t allowing discharge of these debts lead to a moral hazard for borrowers? On the other hand, don’t government subsidized loans create a moral hazard for lenders?
