Pretty enlightening that when (US) liberals propose canceling $40 billion of student debt, of course the people who hold it are up in arms - but they'd sell it to someone else for 1.25% of that. So $40 billion of debt is really 500 million.

Kind of wild, right? We have people who could pay that and literally wouldn't even notice the money gone.

That is outstanding! I’ve always wondered how far those efforts can go - that really seems like an excellent investment

I wish I could buy off my debt at that rate. I'd only owe $500
