I wonder if people in favor of cancelling the debt are also the folks advocating for tuition free education in which case, sure, you take on debt, you should have to pay it back but really education shouldn't incur debt at all according to them.
Anyway, charging interest on tuition debt seems so backwards to me. We should reward people getting educated, not punish them.
