In the sense that being unable to discharge student loans is good for users, I presume.

Something something unfair to those who paid. Something something economy.

Well life isn't fair and it's about time the not-rich benefitted from that sentiment.

And I wonder if part of the US deficit comes from this horrible model of non-bankruptable loans given in the tune of 6 figures per individual that can never reasonably be paid off by most jobs. It's sure not like the public sector (you could at one point also provide 10 years of labor to pardon a loan) didn't fall into the same crap shoot of today's job market. So even that's not guaranteed way to stimulate labor.

I paid my loans off in 3 years. I'm all for a reset to this model and forgiveness to those stuck in it.
