No, it's that you cannot argue your point from any remotely rational basis. It's just whining because you think a political group might benefit if they do the right thing. It's purely cutting the nose to spite the face.
There is no world in which using taxpayers' money to pay off debt that people VOLUNTARILY took on is "the right thing to do". When someone enters into a legal agreement, they complete their obligation - not beg the referee to let them cut and run. From where I'm standing there is no moral standing for your position but I at least attempt to understand it as you conceive of it, something you clearly can't do for mine.
