shrug. If you're old and not working anymore and have debts you can sell your shit to pay off the debts. If you don't have shit to sell then you're poor. I do agree that debts shouldn't be able to take your income below a certain livable level, but there's some level between liveable and full social security payments, then sure, let people who lived a life of debt drop to the lower bound. There is basically no upside to subsidizing these folks.
There's quite a lot of benefit to freeing young people from debt at the beginning so that they can build up wealth.
*I'm aware a 50 year old person is often not "old and not working anymore"
