Like I said. I'm fine with eliminating the interest and I'm fine with making college free in the future for anyone who wants it. I'm not fine with giving everyone who already received a college degree getting an "out of debt free card". You don't deserve that money more than others. The rich needing to be taxed more is a separate issue.
I see. So it has nothing to do with limited availability, you just want to decide who "deserves" to be in debt. Disappointing...
Most everyone who isn't wealthy is in debt. I just don't want myself or people like me to fall further behind while you're retroactively given a free college ride.
How about we use the interest money that you've paid into college so far to give everyone who only chose to go to highschool an extra $40,000 a piece?
"Thanks, friend. That seems fair since you have a higher average earning potential."
