Some of the tens of millions of people under 40 who will have to cover all that debt over the next decades might beg to differ.

You are already covering debt for a lot stupider reasons at least you can console yourself that the money was worth spending.

The point is precisely that views differ on whether the money is worth spending ;)

I think a half a million people are worth saving even if some of them get decades more of life and some only get A single decade more of life.
