Would 0% make you happy? Just trying to figure out what pleases a person that is right all the time.

Also, national security interest? LOL!

I'd be ok with attacking those credit cards as well, it's not binary. And yes, if the government is providing the loans for education then interest free is the way to go, along with caps on tuition and fees for institutions that accept that federal money. We could actually leverage the power of the federal government for the benefit of our people rather than the banks. Turning 2 generations of school children into debt slaves in order to get a college education was not a good idea; I'm sorry you can't see that. And it was Thomas Jefferson who was first expressed concern about the education of America society, so I'm sure you'll be happy to LOL at him too. Puts me in rather good company.

I love how you have placed zero responsibility on the borrower in all of this. It's all the college's fault. You just agreed that 0% interest would be the way to go, yet you skipped it in lieu of complete forgiveness. 

No idea what your TJ reference meant. You implied a bunch of leeches with useless skill sets in debt is a national security issue. 

You clearly want the federal government to be your daddy, so you do you,.
