Are wrong on a moral level to me. Why do we need to put someone in enormous debt right when they get out of college? You're hampering their long-term future and that of their children. And if you get sick with cancer or other catastrophic illnesses there is no reason to ruin their lives when they're already down. Get the damn facsist republicans out of office and get people with souls in office to end this human misery.
