This example is imo not relevant because the G.I. Bill wasn’t “free” or universally offered (recipients had to fight in the war), the order is reversed (I’m talking specifically about an older generation in debt seeing the following generation get to go debt-free), and the amount of debt someone who attended college in the 80s accumulated is far less than that of someone who attended in the past decade or two. > Sadly I had to pay my own way through college Without qualifiers, there’s nothing inherently wrong with this. It becomes wrong when “pay my own way” means “convinced when I was still a child by all the adults around me to take out a predatory loan I have no hope of ever repaying.”
