The business of student loans is far too profitable and powerful to just quietly go away in favor of your thesis.

I do like your thought process though.

Interesting point. This is consistent with a "Corporate Feudalism" chart I saw recently (and am still digesting/making up my mind on), which puts central bank heads, and then major bank heads at the top two places in the power hierarchy. Corporate CEOs (who might see benefit from a more educated work force) are in 3rd place. World leaders are 4th.
