For their own benefit? Seems like an educated population benefits everyone, hence why we spend a portion of the national and local budgets funding schools kids can go to for free. The big miss in the usa seems to be not extending this idea to higher education - perhaps this is why the usa is so dependant on immigration for jobs that require higher education.

Student loan forgiveness seems to be one way to do that. I don't know why they don't just nip at the bud of the problem and subsidize education from the get go though.
