Koan, it is ridiculous that people would lobby and fight for the right to life of a fetus but then those very folks would turn around and say that the right to bear arms supersedes the right to life even for those who are innocent and have had that right to life for less than a decade.

Not simple. Student loan default rates are at an all time high. These loans are not profitable. Why, koan? Because it has driven malinvestment in Bachelor's degrees that have no value. Degrees in the study of the migratory patterns of the dung beetle don't produce jobs. At some point, education needs to be tied to what makes people productive to society. This utopian ideal of having everyone study whatever they want and someone else pays for it is not founded in common sense.
