“10. Student loan debt relief. Our young People and students are more than $830 billion in debt from education loans alone. Payment and interest on these debts should be deferred for periods of unemployment and the principal on these loans reduced using a corporate tax surcharge.”

I ran up debt, so make someone else pay for it?

Um, no.

I like #6. Put everyone in Medicare and then eliminate it because it’s corrupt.

What they want is to be free-ed from some of their stupidity and lack of planning.

There are many of the "99%ers" who chose to pursue a lofty degree but which renders the recipient thereof unemployable....like for example, a masters degree in minority women's studies. These students run up tens of thousands of dollars in student loans without ever thinking of the consequences of their decisions. They have to know that their job prospects are slim to none, but forge ahead anyway, like they are in some kind of drug induced trance.

I would speculate that there are few in none medical or engineering students etc calling for relief from their loans.

...heck, even the students of the "trades" can pay their loans...

...the bottom line here is : get trained to do something useful where there are jobs to be had before you go after the lofty, but jobless degree...
