Are you implying people are intentionally making less than $217 a week after taxes to avoid student debt payments? That seems like a losing strategy, like shooting yourself in the face to save your foot. I mean, there's millions of people with student debt - there's bound to be a few edge cases, but that really isn't relevant. Are you also implying that it's non-edge case to say, oh, I'll just not pay my student loans and then leave my country? Why would that be any more an option than people doing that for credit card debt? I mean, sure, there's some very small percentage in some table factored into the interest rate. Everyone else is either paying or getting their wages garnished (unless something in the future changes).
