      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”

        Having educated and debt free youth is the only way the US is going to remain relevant in the world economy.

        “Crabs in a bucket” arguments like yours really just illustrate how the US has got to the point we are at right now.

          Your argument is akin to trickle down economics.

          Further, I’m not against making future college free for anyone who wants it. I’m just against bailing out everyone who willingly and knowingly took on large amounts of debt as their own choice, even when there were other viable options not to.
