    Not to mention the “solution” people commonly throw around that Americans should skip out on college altogether since student loan interest and tuition is so absurdly high. “Just go to trade school!”

    Sure, let’s see how well our country fairs in 20 years when we have an extreme shortage of doctors, engineers, researchers, lawyers, teachers, architects, nurses, chemists, pilots, psychologists, economists, social workers, etc.

    The people who benefit from the unsastainably high tuition rates we have today will be dead by the time these consequences realize. We shouldn’t sacrifice our way of life so a few greedy inhumans can gorge themselves on more money than they could ever spend.

    Civil disobedience by not paying these loans back is far from enough. I say we make heads roll.
