    The student loan interest rates are exuberant, while I support the nullification of times past, I’d also like to see the core issue being taken care of

          That’s a contextual issue. It’s not often applied to a value but rather a feeling - that’s why I suggested “exorbitant”.

          Exuberant is also considered a positive attribute, so contextually it was confusing.

          edit: Not to be rude - I’m an American and the Dutch constantly correct me here - but instead of “obsessive” (to be obsessed with), you might consider “excessive” - much closer to “a lot of” but more “too much of”. ✌️

            Exorbitant meaning “eye-popping”, as in making your eyes pop out of their sockets, which is why it’s used in these contexts.
