Thousands of dollars in student debt cancelled. Good news, right?

@Mr.E

My wife went to school over a decade ago, experienced several health crises, and never finished. She still owes over $14,000 in debt. In fact, she owes more now than she did when she took the loans out because of interest and income-based deferred payment. She’s not a doctor or a lawyer or anything, just a woman approaching middle-age still carrying the baggage of poor decisions made in youth and bad luck. She is the sort of person this cancellation is meant for.

You want the tax payer to pay for your wife’s poor decisions. Fine. What do you say to those who worked their way through school taking night classes part time so they could avoid debt?
