Another reason that loan forgiveness would be unfair. And what about people who learned a trade instead of paying for an overpriced college? Or poor people who didn't go to college because their underfunded neighborhood high school didn't prepare them for college?

America has already had too many bailouts to save the privileged from the consequences of their own decisions.

Not only that, it's a reason that those who don't owe money on their loans might be struggling financially due to missed career or even social opportunities of going to a smaller (read: often crappy) school.
