This would save young Americans from going into crippling debt, but it would also make a university degree completely unaffordable for most. However, in the age of the Internet, that doesn’t mean they couldn’t get an education.

Consider the long term impact of this. There are a lot of different ways such a situation could go, for better and for worse.

    Maybe my understanding of the wording is wrong, but I think you assume a total return of investment of 4.125% and 4.375%. Hence, your total payments correspond to fixed rates of less than 0.5% per year.

    For a fixed rate of 4.125% (per year), I calculate a total repayment of $51,016.80, over 20 years.
