    The student loan interest rates are exuberant, while I support the nullification of times past, I’d also like to see the core issue being taken care of

          That’s a contextual issue. It’s not often applied to a value but rather a feeling - that’s why I suggested “exorbitant”.

          Exuberant is also considered a positive attribute, so contextually it was confusing.

            Exorbitant meaning “eye-popping”, as in making your eyes pop out of their sockets, which is why it’s used in these contexts.

      Here’s one thing I don’t understand: does loan cancellation consist of the government paying off the loan, or is it a legal nullification of somebody’s loan? If it’s the former, I get economic concerns. If it’s the latter, then I really don’t see arguments against loan cancellation as very credible.

        It’s cancellation of the loans. They’re government loans being forgiven, not private loans paid back by the government.

      Yeah, I’d like to focus on stopping the bleeding before mopping up blood. I don’t know what the message is here for future generations.
