While restricting the number of people who can go to school would indeed prevent those people from acquiring college debt in the first place, you're also restricting those people to service positions.
The problem appears to be the cost associated with college, so the question I have for Obama and anyone else that supports giving away access to college is how does that lower cost? If the government stopped providing student loans and allowed the market to control interest rates colleges would no longer be capable of getting whatever they want out of people. They would have to deal with the fact that the government isn't acting as everyone's sugar daddy and price their product with some sort of restraint.
Yes, my solution isn't concerned with everyone getting access, and to be honest, the only solution that can truly maximize access is one that maximizes price.
