A lot of people have trouble paying their student loans and many seem to call for cancellation of all student debts.

The interest rates on US student loans are from around 5% according to https://www.valuepenguin.com/student-loans/student-loan-inte...

At the same time the US government can borrow at around 1%. Why not consider education an investment in society and let students borrow at this rate as well?

My swedish student loan has 0.05% interest rate this year.

I don't get it.
