Why college loans? Why not make us help other people with other kinds of loans?
People who make 250k a year need our help to pay off student loan debt? Schools with massive endowments need our help to stay flush with cash?some endowments require schools to only use the funds for certain things - like prof. salaries or maintenance of buildings or funding of labs so the $ can't be used how ever the school wants.
I don't get it. I get where pro-abortion people are coming from, I get where anti-gun people are coming from...this issue might be the stupidest idea in 100 years.

All loans are a burden.
We do give mortg. interest deductions. Only benefits some and not others like renters. |

a select few benefit. Not renters in this case. The gov. subsidized my purchase of my house but doesn't provide a similar benefit to renters.
Our tax code (and other policies) picks winners and losers. |

I lobbed up a typo for you. I would have thought you would be all over it so it could put a smile on your face. |

We also used to at least, give student loan interest deductions. This isn't that. Not even close. |
