“I want Americans to pay attention to see where their lawmakers’ priorities lie here: lower tax bills for millionaires, or lower student loan bills for the middle class.”

Translation from Obama-speak to English:
Allowing productive people to keep their current after tax earnings or confiscating more of those earnings to pay the debts of others (who obtain increasing amounts of that subsidy by decreasing their production.)

    Then according to them, we should be receiving all sorts of benefits.

    Now I started writing that as sarcasm but almost instantly realized that we actually do.

    However these are the benefits of a fulfilling life that they cannot even conceive of.

    Following this will be, "Oh...you want that debt eliminated earlier, Mr Recent Graduate? Wear this brown shirt and jack boots."

    HOW IS HE GETTING AWAY WITH THIS SH*T?! Our country is the way it is because people cant take responsibility for their actions. Now 'they're' burdening the upper class with debt that isn't theirs.

    What's next? Free University education because 'the students cant pay for it' ?? Lets just give everything away. Why not. We wouldn't want anyone to put forth any honest effort to contribute to society....

    Given the title as topic, and looking at the world around us....National debt,world debt, consumer debt....

    By that definition an honest man is likely one of the smallest minorities of all.
