  1. Notice at NO point did she express anger and demand to know WHY tuition is inhumanely expensive (and it's not just the interest rates), no. All her anger was simply aimed at deleting the balance owed. It's an extreme comparison, but imagine realizing a string of unsolved murders, and instead of getting on camera and pleading with the suspect to stop...you get on camera and bitch at law enforcement for not hurrying up and catching the guy. As for this elderly lady...I always hesitate to fall in to the pattern of X happened so there for Y must be to blame. JUST because her loan balance is $300,000 at age 90 does NOT automatically mean the college is to blame. We do not know this woman's history. Perhaps she just refused to make another payment at age 30 and racked up interest as a result? Maybe she has made payments faithfully and the interest rate is 100% to blame. We don't know. Why? Because all this backed up sewer system of a show did here was take a 90 year old woman with a student loan balance and beat you over the head with her with zero context around her personal situation. That and, per usual, blame ABSOLUTELY anything and anyone for gas prices and inflation other than those responsible.
