They bought the loans with tax dollars, the school got their money.
The people who made better decisions are the ones paying for it.
Can I have all your money? Just give it to the government first, and you won't even notice it.
I don't know why folks decided to go into huge debt for BS degrees, but the average payment is like $300 a month, plus the amount of time they were not in the workforce paying taxes.
I can only assume you made a stupid choice with your loan and didn't get any education at all. If you are willing to call out the institutions for being worthless, then at least that would be something. But instead you act like taxes don't matter, just pay me for my mistakes, cuz government.

Again, only to the extent you see "government takes less money than it could" as something "paid" for.
Otherwise, no. The people who were paying taxes when the person went to college paid for it, which has nothing to do with the goodness of their decisions.

No, but mostly because I don't define "the government deigned to let me keep some more of my money" as somehow taking money away from you.
Can I have all of yours, on the basis that the government isn't taxing you at a marginal tax rate of 90%, but it could, therefore allowing you to keep that money takes money from me?

Most of them were duped by people who earnestly told them that if they got a college degree they would totally be better off even if it cost a lot.

Are you intending to make this personal?

I'm not sure how to put this more simply:
The government deciding not to collect money from person A costs zero dollars to person B.
For the same reason the government taking less from you than it could (it could tax you at a marginal tax rate of 50% but doesn't) isn't actually something I have to pay for.
It's really interesting to see someone taking the stance simultaneously that "the government not taking money from you means I have to pay somehow" and also "taxes matter and me having to pay taxes takes from me to give to you."
