Right To Vote vs Student Debt.... Which One?

As the title suggests, the article that I found most interesting is from the blog, Splinter, and it addresses the question of student debt (The article URL is below). I know that as a high school student going into college in a few years, this will affect me almost immediately; and I suspect that quite a few of you are going to also be facing this or are facing this now. The question of student debt is something that is talked about a lot, especially in college. The article itself is fairly self-explanatory, and I don't want to explain the article here, so I will leave with the comment that we as students should not be made to suffer because of the instability of the economy. What do you think?

They know that most people think that there is nothing that can be done about preventing the natural disasters, so they don't bother to even bring it up. I think that this falls under the "Non-governmentally-educated people voting" heading, and it's something that could be rectified if everyone were taught the basics of Gove...
