In fact, the net gain to society from forgiving student debt probably is zeroish so the whole question is one of redistribution. In the train example the net gain to society from diverting the train is strictly positive and no one at all would lose from doing it. Just not a good example. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:932934946] in Politics C...
