I would also like to propose a distinction between "whining" and anecdotally highlighting a situation that is both unfair to individuals who decide to pursue an advanced education and harmful to the intellectual and scientific health of the country.
It isn't unfair, you knew when you decided to pursue a post-graduate education that you had loans and that the interest would accrue on them. You weighed your options and decided to continue with your education and let the interest accrue. There is nothing wrong with that, but don't call it unfair.
