Obama: Republicans ‘playing chicken’ on student loans

6. An even better solution.

Just like in Australia where the government gives out student loans at zero percent interest and remember the tarp money at or near zero that was authorized for 700 billion to bail out the banks but was closer to 16 trillion that was lent out. The US government buys out ALL the student loans and has them paid back at zero percent. Don't tell me this cant be done it can and it has. Help out people instead of corporations for a change and copy policies already in place in other parts of the world. Its a no brain-er.
