    I’m assuming your ex has paid in more than she initially owed, right? As my first statement in here was that someone like her, I’d be fine with debt wiping. I’m not ok with someone who racked up $150k in student loans, only made $25k worth of payments, and gets the other $125k wiped.

      Right, but that’s the point - every proposal I’ve read would not wipe that high end debt. Every proposal is targeted toward struggling earners. Every proposal already does what you want.

      In a similar vein, my state offers free college tuition! But is it a free bonanza for the wealthy? Not at all. It covers up to three years community college for everyone or four years at a public college or university, means tested. If your parents make a decent income or you want to go to a private university, that’s great for you but you have to pay for it as before
