>>Why does it have to be a competition of loss? The student loan issue is something that should be addressed in and of itself. Because the money comes out of everyone's pocket. How about free healthcare for more people, free child care so people can go to work etc etc? The govt can't just issue new dollars indefinitely, so there's a cost. I understand that colleges are very expensive and loans have made it even more expensive--just sign here and see you in 4 years. But since the money is coming out of the pooled money we have to think twice and consider everyone's problems.
