      It would be simpler, but then we would be subsidizing the 1% student loans. We already have that problem with social security: giving out massive payments to rich people while the program slowly runs out of money.

        The 1% pays more in taxes, presumably, but their cost of education is not higher than anyone else. So who is subsidizing whom?
