"... cancel any federal student debt ..."

That's the problem. Maybe I'm in the minority but everyone I know has like less than $10k in federal loans and $40k or more in private loans.

I can't figure out how I end up reading about people with $100k in federal student loan debt that get forgiveness for working for the government. How the hell did you manage to get THAT much in federal subsidized money? The only way I could go to school was by using private loans. My wife has private loans at 13% adjustable...

One way was going to graduate school. You can get federal loans for grad school at up to the entire cost of attendence. For law school or medical school that's 80k a year.
