Thanks for the details - it sounds like you're saying reduced payments under IDR are basically partial payments, which I assume would be applied only to the interest, thus making the debt last forever. Sounds like a plan bankers would come up with to create perpetual interest revenue. SAVE makes a lot more sense in terms of actually helping people - so no wonder Bonespurs & Company would block it. Can't have Big Gubmint interfering with the freedom to indenture people.
