You made excellent points and after thinking on it again it does make sense. Under my own logic it wouldn't really be fair to hold kids who don't know better to a contract they didn't really understand while pressured through a predatory system and probably should have had legal representation like an attorney present with them before signing.

Thank you for helping me re-evaluate my ideas on the issue.

You had it right the first time. People with student loan debt have nobody to blame but themselves. There are very good community college systems that are quite inexpensive. I went to community college and a state university while working the entire time. I graduated with a loan balance of only $10k. Half of the other kids were stupid, lazy communications majors who just fucked off the whole time and now they're complaining that life isn't fair. They did this to themselves.
