$1.7 Trillion Dollars Later

Forty five million Americans owe a staggering $1.7 trillion for their college education.  Well actually, not really.  You see, 40% of those who owe this debt did not graduate from college....they just hung-out for a few years and then found that they had to pay back $700 billion from High School Graduate earnings.  These stats seem so absurd to my post 75 years sensibility that I would hardly believe except that Elizabeth Warren talks about it all the time.  She wants to cancel the debt.  Might as well, it's like the national debt...it's never going to get paid.  Much of it is securitized through Sallie Mae and it's probably held mostly by Japan and China.  Maybe we could swap Hawaii for full redemption.  After all, we would have 45 million "brights" who could then add another $1.7 trillion to our $1.3 trillion credit card debt. "Forgive us our debtors"...I mean..."Forgive us, "your dubiously educated", borrowers".
