    Mine will likely never be eliminated unless it all goes away because I make too much, and that’s totally fine by me. I want as many people to get relief as possible! Public colleges and universities should be free, and student debt should not be a thing. At least not the way it is now.

      I feel happy when someone in this position can say this instead of the ol’ “I did it so you should suffer too” to type logic haha

        I think it’s really worth noting that in the end, the most egregious abuse is the usury. Having to pay multiple values of the principle is the trap most people fall into.

        Hey, Y’all Qaeda. Why aren’t you focused on that sin against Gaaaaaaawd?

          Interest on student loans is crazy to begin with

          If I go to college and get a better job, then the country is already benefitting from a larger tax base from me having a better job than I would otherwise.

          So not only am I getting taxed on a larger tax base, but I’m also paying interest on a loan to get the better job lol

          I’m getting hit twice
