Taxing Mechanical Engineers and Subsidizing Drama Majors

If I paid off my student loans, I've hit that pothole. It's done and past; I'm not continuously driving over it. There is no second lane; the pothole was just filled in a bit (not fully, of course).

You are still paying to build the second lane though. In addition many people have not paid off their student loans but make to much money to qualify, they are being forced over the pothole

I think you could slightly argue that there is a second lane because private student loans don't get a repayment. But even as someone in that "second lane" I'm not upset that the pothole got fixed in the other lane. I'm just happy that less people are hitting potholes. I'd be happier if we fixed all of them, but fixing one is better than fixing none.
