Which delays your ability to invest the amount going to your student loans by a month, which also delays your ability to buy a house, and perhaps start a family, and so on. The increase in taxation reduces the funds available that could--and often does---go to other things, which can, in the aggregate, stimulate the economy far more than the additional tax revenue would.

Which is, I note, just slightly higher than the under-"privileged" person who earns $40K a year. I guess that person didn't plan well either.
