@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.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@BoingBoing@chillinkansai Ohmysocks! So glad UK doesn't do this! I think Education costs far too much.... -
@fogheart@BoingBoing yeah. It can be soul crushing and scary as hell. -
@chillinkansai@BoingBoing I've got a student loan, and I don't even earn enough to begin paying the interest. That'll be with me forever. -
@fogheart@BoingBoing hang in there, you'll get it eventually. (My fingers are crossed on getting mine squared away.)

@BoingBoing the guy threatened marshals that he has a gun and would use it. That could account for arrest you think? -
