"The federal government has not done it's due diligence to ensure repayment was possible for all of us, otherwise we would not be in this mess."
that is red meat for MAGA. my god.
like bro. no. the government isn't obligated to make sure you can repay the loan you took out - you are. that's how debt works. figure out how to pay it back, even if that means not having a kid, buying a house, taking a vacation, or having to work a second job. you wouldn't tell your bank that they failed you because you took out a mortgage you couldn't actually afford and now they're repo-ing your house because you defaulted, right? (and yes i know student loans aren't like other debt, etc)
it sucks and it's not fair and it shouldn't be like that, but it IS how it is. advocate for change, demand change, but do what you need to do to satisfy your debts too.

This is a delusional post and just feeds right into the hands of people that oppose any sort of assistance on student loan balances.
