It's not like these kids had a sudden, unexpected bill dropped on them after 4 years of college. They knew exactly what the cost was and willfully took on the debt.
What's worse, in the article Tyrone linked to there is mention that many of the people carrying this student debt actually never even completed their studies or got degrees. That's brutal. No way a drop out should get their debt paid off.
Taxpayers shouldn't be on the hook to bail out their bad decisions. If that's the case, maybe the gov't wants to top up your retirement savings plan with some free money too.
I stand with PBHangingChad.....on this one issue.
