    I chose a lower paying job in lieu of going to college and taking on debt. I’d support writing off the debt if the debtor has paid in the loan amounts worth as if it was zero interest, but making it all written off isn’t right by anyone who chose the route I took.

        “Millionaires want free money” BOoOoOOO! No way!

        “College alumni want free money” Yay! This is totally cool and fair!

        You want me cool with wiping off $80k, give everyone else who didn’t go $80k.

            You sound like you want to be the special one who gets something to make your own screw up go away. “I didn’t know what an apr rate was when I took on $80k in a loan to get my studio arts degree”
