Student loans shouldn't be forgiven but is it criminal that most of them start at 6.9% interest. These are things I think he would fight for that most of the other candidates could give two shits about.

The fact that you start the number at 6.9 is misleading and not factual. Now, could the numbers even at 4pct interest be considered high....maybe but at the same time there was a time where these things weren't capped at all and people were paying upwards of 20pct interest rates.

Those are your current student loan rates set by congress. Now, I have no problem with thinking Bernie is probably an OK guy but his policies and the things he believes in are not OK and people are still willing to give him their vote knowing full well that his policies are problematic is worrisome. How do you fund the things he wants to do? The answer is....You tax....you tax anyone that can afford to pay a tax.

Here is a quote and I know no one will probably care but it's the best way to describe it...

A country trying to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket trying to lift himself up by the handle.
