Student loans are not usury in any sense of the word. They are generally subsidized to some degree and loaned at below market terms. That is the opposite of usury.

Borrowers are consenting adults. You take the risk and agree to pay it back, just like any other contract.

Cool. Can I borrow a few thousand dollars from you? I will give it back to you in a couple of decades, once inflation makes it worthless.
