I'm of the approach that any debt cancellation should come with a penalty. Maybe void the degree earned or work out a deal where you only remove a certain percentage of the debt. So if you have $100,000 or more in debt on a worthless degree, you are only on the hook for $50,000.
The remaining balance of the debt can just be printed up by the FED anyways. I'm not sure why the Karens in here make a big deal about all this. What's $1.5 trillion anyways when we are galloping past $30 trillion right now? This isn't a hill to be dying on.
