You design a system for the citizens you're representing. Not for citizens you ideally want to be representing.
Are these debts using people's ignorance about financial terms to make money? AKA Are they predatory? - If so then that's a bad thing.
You might not care - but I care about the well being for people I'm sharing a society with. I don't want people taken advantage of. I don't want education to have capital associated with it. I want people to be able to get education without "oh will i be able to pay off the loans for this education."
So you might think you did a good job working your ass off affording education. People like Sanders and I think that getting a quality education should be completely unrelated to "working your ass off."
I've also worked my ass off to afford my education. I still think it's a bad system and I don't care if my taxes are rerouted from killing people in foreign countries to helping my society get stronger and better.
