Mortgage interest is tax deductible, for one thing.

So is student loan interest

Only up to a a certain income limit. And the amount that can be deducted is capped. It doesn’t require itemizing though so that’s nice.. but as someone who itemized and makes ‘too much’ money, I’d have benefited greatly if it was treated like mortgage interest

Neither for 90% of tax payers.
