        @BoingBoing @wilw Student loans should be at 0% interest—like I've had for my last three cars. An education is more important than a car.

        @ergoking @BoingBoing @wilw Your last three cars are collateral. Student loans are completely unsecured and are high-risk for lender.

        @ianbeyer @BoingBoing @wilw Student loans should not be necessary, but if they are, then the government should secure them. It can be done.

        @ergoking @BoingBoing @wilw They already do secure them. That’s why the interest is as low as it is.

        @ianbeyer @BoingBoing @wilw Of course, a $50,000 loan at 6.8% compounded annually will cost student $90,000 total after 20 years.

        @BoingBoing @wilw the guy was arrested for failure to appear in court, not because he didn't pay his loans. Click bait garbage.
