I understand the kneejerk reaction of wanting others to pay for theirs, if you had to pay for yours, but it's pretty shortsighted, really.

1. It's far better for the economy, including yours and mine, to not have so many young people saddled with unmanageable debt.

2. It will cost us all more, in the long run, to pay for all the other services that those young people won't be able to afford due to crippling debt.

If "It sucked for me, so I think it should suck for you, too!" is your motivation...one, it's kinda lame and schitty to think that way, and two, if being selfish is really your motivation, be motivated by the fact that us taxpayers will pay less in the long run to help them now, vs. help them all along for a long while.

Let your selfish economic sense, such that it is, override your selfish dick sense, such that it is.

Fish on...

P.S. I have almost no dog in this fight, so far as the selfish dick part goes; my zillions of dollars in student loans are done, and my lady's are down to a few grand...we'll be barely helped by any forgiveness, if any comes, at least directly.
