> Both cases are false, but personally I cannot fault the people from assuming such based on how often it appears those assumptions are true The problem is that regardless of I'd those assumptions are true, those assumptions can stop you from listening to and understanding the actual arguments and beliefs. Additionally, if left unchallenged, those assumptions can stop at a superficial understanding of the issues that face the person holding the position. If you assume that the person arguing for the forgiveness of student loans simply wants to save money, you might miss that the real impact is the way that mandatory student loan payments prevent that person from quitting their job and following their dreams or boot strapping a business. That information is critical to find solutions or compromises.
