    my government gave me a loan at 6.8%. The amount I have paid into it is the same as the original principle amount, I still owe 80% of it because of the interest. I am making 2x the average American and am still on a hamster wheel of the capitalist death cult. I will never own anything at this rate

      Yes the poltical system in America is terrible.

      But there are more capitalist countries without stupid education loans than with, it’s kinda just you guys. You really need some form of proporional representation.
