Either way the trend is more likely total write off of student debt like it or not, at least this way there’s some kind of trade off?

Would that even last? Or will the day come that the irresponsible people that opted for that are now old and broke and we have to “figure out how to pay for them”,  again.

Perhaps I think something like this would only work with some kind of phase out plan for social security. At some point there’s going to be a generation that pays in and gets nothing back. If we go ahead and say ok this generation is in trouble with the loan bubble let’s start the phase out now and then start letting younger generations privatize their retirement.
