It's the system used in the UK. You don't start paying until you earn Β£26,000 then 9% of your earnings above that threshold. After 25 years or if you reach 65 the loan is written off.
The loan company is government run and rates not predatory.

It's working:

It would do in a functional democracy.
But I have my doubts whether it will even move the needle . A third of the USA are full willing members of a cult. A third live in wilful ignorance. And the remainder seem stunned by how quickly the country has fallen into authoritarianism.

Remember when MAGA cared about the price of eggs?
They no doubt don't care a fig about it now because daddy Trump has told them they're are freedom eggs and they should be glad to pay more.
It's a personality cult worshipping a moron.
Russell Brand has just been charged with Rape by Police in the UK.
He is currently hiding in the USA.
He needs to be deported now to face justice.
No doubt Trump will welcome him.

The USA average life expectancy is 78 compared to @ 82 average amongst other comparable countries.
In the UK, it's 82 and we spend 40% less ,as a proportion of GDP, than the USA on healthcare.
Canada's average life expectancy is 83.
And therein lies the truth

It's not just the red cap wearing MAGA morons.
Consistently, Dem governments have produced higher markets, decreased deficits, lower unemployment but somehow the GOP is seen as good on the economy.
Perhaps we should also ban foreign ownership of our media and stop giving seats in our Parliament to sons of KG officers

Blimey. Apple lost more than $250 billion in market value Thursday, with shares down as much as 8.5% as a result of President Donald Trumpβs tariff spree.
Tesla, Nvidia, and Meta were down 6%, and Amazon shares fell by 7.2%

So the company that gave Trump Β£1 million donation for his inauguration has lost Β£250 billion.
The richest 10% own 93% of all stocks in the USA.
They were willing to risk electing a moron rather than risk paying a cent more in tax.

The EU, UK and many countries don't allow growth hormones to be used in rearing cattle used for our food.
Nor do we allow chicken to be washed in chlorine.
This is not to do with tariffs but USA low safety standards with food.
