  1. Simple 1. Change the usurous federal loan interest rates to prime rate 2. Do it retroactively, reducing the debt. 3. Give refunds to those who paid too much. End of story. Govt was trying to make $ on students, it should not do that.

  2. Yes, agree. But the govt should recalculate debt based on a reasonable interest rate, not trying to make $$$ on students.

  3. The govt tried to make $ on students with high interest rates. I paid 8% at one time, which doubles the debt in 9 years. So, the govt should reduce the interest rate to the prime rate, retroactively. Give debt reductions and rebates as appropriate. Fair and helpful, yes?

  4. Community colleges used to be free, they should go back to that.

  5. The govt was trying to leach off students by charging high interest. It should recalculate the loans based on the prime rate, adjust the debts, and give partial rebates to those who paid their loans off.

  8.  @cherylanon5791  On the other hand, 175 years is only two life spans of man, and freed slaves were supposed to get 40 acres and a mule. The current value of said acres and stock being approximately 200k today, this amount, times the number of african americans, could be appropriated to reparations. Some could go to individuals, and some to projects and Foundations and such. The total bill would be about 8 trillion. Compare this to historical reparations and bailouts and it does not seem out of the realm of reality, over time. It is about half the GDP so it would take many years to pay.
