Perhaps I could provide a bit of perspective on this type of thing. I graduated in 1979 with a PhD. At that time I owed the shocking amount of $900 + a few tens and fives, I forget the exact amount.

The real problem here is that most of you readers have no real understanding of how economics works. I could explain it all but you would get pissed off as soon as I pointed out that in reality Government Dollars Spent do not come from Federal Taxes Collected. Further more, having a top marginal tax rate of 90% is not in anyway detrimental to the super wealthy.

The sad truth is that most of you are never going to support returning to the plan (started back before I was born) to create a fair and just society that would not crush the life out of certain segment of society.
