      A few dollars out of your current level of taxes to ensure future generations can afford to live is too much, but all the other bullshit is cool…

      That’s a fucked up view.

        Not the guy you replied to, but “a few dollars” is bullshit. My wife and I owe almost $100k MORE than when we graduated due to interest. And we’ve made every payment since we graduated in 2010. Our monthly payments don’t even cover interest

        Pre edit: after I wrote that, I wondered if you realized the person you responded to meant they weren’t paying their own loans

      While I agree with your sentiment, the issue is that there are actual consequences to not paying them. Ultimately up to 15% of your wages could be garnished, and your credit score will be tanked. Good luck getting a car or home loan after that.
