The US has a very deliberate public policy of student debt accrual. Argue all day about the causes (corruption, financial engineering, classism, racism, toxic individualism, whatever) but it could be abolished entirely by different policy, which could easily pay for itself.
Make them dischargeable and that may change quickly. Student loans are very rare in Ireland, I only know one person who even had one. Most people work part-time or summer jobs and that keeps them going. US is super-strange.
