I went to a state school rather than an expensive private school, went into a well paying career and paid off my student loans in 3 years.

I'm sorry these students chose a different path, but there's no way the rest of us should take care of their terrible decisions. If you want to mandate some super low interest rate, then I'm fine with that, but just having the government pay off their loans is extremely offensive.

If these people got into NYU in the first place then they're almost certainly from more well off families. They don't need the help.
