If there is going to be any "debt relief", it should be accomplished by taxing the schools & administrations that have immensely benefitted over the past 60 years from the massive subsidies granted to higher ed.
This just shows how incredibly stupid the right wing is in the US. They could be using this as a cudgel to punish their intellectual opponents in the universities (entirely justified, since their claims to be increasing the human capital of their students in an economically productive way were evidently false), and simultaneously break down a barrier used to exclude a large number of their constituents (non-college-educated whites) from white collar employment.
Instead it looks like they might be setting up to cut another check and further solidify the role of colleges as ideologically hostile gatekeepers to decent employment.
