Student loan debt

has his own issues that I won't address in my opinion, but on one subject, I have to agree with him.
No one is entitled to have a debt "forgiven". They aren't forgiven at all, money is forcibly taken from all the rest of us in order to pay that, OR, it is just written off into the national debt (which eventually translates to the same thing). This sort of stuff is the reason college educations are so expensive. As long as people see the free money train (through student loans and now potential FREE student loans they never have to pay back), they spend recklessly on their education, and the colleges keep pumping the prices because they know they can get it. There is no market moderation at all with this model. It's no different than the influence of healthcare insurance on medical expenses.
I don't find anyone else to be responsible for decisions I have made, and it's a bit insulting to hear some say they shouldn't have to pay back money they borrowed.
