You don't need to cure cancer, you need to be able to prevent it in the first place.

Ofc this is following the metaphor, for actual cancer you need both.

For student loans you need to fix the system, higher education in Europe is free, but it really isn't, you pay for your education over your lifetime by earning more money with your higher education and thus paying more in taxes and social security.

Ofc it's not a perfect system, but much better than having young idiots be purposely exposed to predatory lending.

european education system is very different than american one. from top to bottom and from birth to death.

american system treats education as a privilege, not a right. and higher education as a private luxury good rather than a public good.
