However, if the fricking federal govt can "give" away billions upon billions of dollars to the middle east, Ukraine and other countries, no one says a word about it, why not invest "instead" in "our" future and pay some school loans off?

1) by “give” you mean “print” and “cause inflation which acts as a flat tax and lowers the standard of living for everyone, worse for those who have less”
2) lots of people are saying lots of words about it.
3) we did already invest in “our” future by having the government back the loans so that no one has to be unable to get funding. This double-edge sword allowed for a lot of people who decided to shirk their duties to evaluate cost and eventual earning potential as an equation of how to choose school and career.
