Back in 81, the richest were given a tax cut that severely cut the federal aid to state colleges and passed a law privatizing the student loan program with that never to be forgiven but now for profit, not government backed and low interest loan.

Tax the fucking rich to pay for it. They are the only ones who benefited from the tax cut and change in the law.
