    Gotcha, so you subscribe to the mindset that someone getting something redeuces what you get.

    The thing is, the richest 1% of people are so incomprehensiblly more rich than the rest of us that they could easily pay for school, housing, and food for all of us and still be incredibly rich. That’s the ideal situation IMHO.

      Like I said. I’m fine with eliminating the interest and I’m fine with making college free in the future for anyone who wants it. I’m not fine with giving everyone who already received a college degree getting an “out of debt free card”. You don’t deserve that money more than others. The rich needing to be taxed more is a separate issue.

        I see. So it has nothing to do with limited availability, you just want to decide who “deserves” to be in debt. Disappointing…

          Most everyone who isn’t wealthy is in debt. I just don’t want myself or people like me to fall further behind while you’re retroactively given a free college ride.

          How about we use the interest money that you’ve paid into college so far to give everyone who only chose to go to highschool an extra $40,000 a piece?
