To "forgive" all student loans means to pay off the banks and other private lenders who loaned that money. Then, there's the valid question of "why only existing loans? Why shouldn't people who've paid their loans in full be refunded that money?"

As I said, that's a valid question and opens the Federal government, and the taxpayers that support it, to lawsuits that could overwhelm the Court system.

The loans made with Treasury funds should be forgiven, along with those who've already paid in full.

To pay off all student loan debt would amount to trillions of dollars; just try to get that past the Republicans in the Senate, if you want a good laugh out of them.

BTW, I love the 'breakup' map you created. I will probably use it in a novel, if you don't mind?

Thanks for a great story/article.
