Thom Hartmann on forgiving student debt.

[Igel]

7. I went to a UC school in the '90s.

I paid, as an in-state student, no tuition.

There were only "fees." $4k+, but the State of California was clear--*no* tuition for in-state students.

My first year, as an out-of-state student, I paid tuition. Second year? In state. < joy >

Later, I came to know the registrar at my school. I was approved as "in state" the last possible day for my incoming class. Every class after that had stricter rules, and few succeeded. Anita laughed. "Nobody read the fine print!" I did. Saved me $50k.
