He wants to reward people who don't pay their debts, but punish people who work their asses off to pay off their debts on time. If he is going to pay off medical debt, he should do it for diligent people as well as delinquient people. Why only pay off some medical debt and not all medical debt?
Same thing for paying off education debt. If he does it for the gender studies majors who are now unemployable and cannot pay because chose to incur massive debt for a major with no return on investment, he should also do it for the engineering majors who got jobs and paid their debts on time. Anyone who avoids incurring unpayable debts should vote against anyone who promises to pay off the debts of those people who incurred unpayable debts. Why reward only the stupid? That's a perverted system the Dems are pushing.

SL debt is freely accepted by the recipient who then turns deadbeat. Having to choose between your life and later losing your house and all you own is another thing. I feel for the latter while having zero sympathy for the former.

lower middle class and working poor people who actually scrape by to pay off their debts.
I can and have often pointed out fatal flaws in Republican dogma. This is a fatal flaw of the Dems, namely, rewarding irresponsible or immoral behavior because it results in grown adults ending up in poverty or in debt. Yes, there are times when it should fall on those people to pull themselves out of the situation by assuming responsibility for their own lives.
