re: #17 Targetpractice

Even if you limit “the American people” to just adults 18+, 15% of the US adult population works out to roughly 39 million Americans carrying student debts.

Quick Google search says that the average student graduated last year with close to $30,000 in student loan debts. So let’s average that out at $10,000 because a lot of students have since begun paying off those debts. That is $390 billion in money that could be used to pull people up out of poverty that is going to a bank ledger instead.

If we ban flogging, that is an insult to those who have been flogged…
