Lawmakers can create a law which say that educational debt above Y dollars can be discarged in bankruptcy. Of course anything like that will have second and further order effects too.
- bratwurst3000 3y agoHold on… can a private person not default in the USA? In Europe you can default and it takes 3 years and you are cleared from credits.
- krisoft 3y ago> can a private person not default in the USA They can. But there are some debts which cannot be discharged that way. (Meaning some debts go away, but others don't.) For example if you owe child support payments that doesn't go away just because you default. Or if you owe someone debt because you caused them an injury in a wilful and malicious manner that cannot be discharged by defaulting. These are explicitly defined exceptions in the USA law. And so is student loans.
