Going to college should not bankrupt either students or their families. Students should be able to borrow money interest free and not be charged any interest on those loans if they are paid back within 25 years. It is disgraceful that the federal government is making billions off of loans t students. To protect the government, the student should be required to pay into a government offered insurance plan naming the government as the beneficiary. Premiums should be extremely low.
