    Can they call it a bailout instead of debt relief? That would make it more popular with Congress.

      Why don’t all those with student debt just form a corporation together? Then they’d be too big to fail and require a bailout.

        Can’t you buy medical debt for a fraction of what is owed from collections agencies? Can a bunch of people do the same thing with student loan debt?

          Yes, and John Oliver once did a segment on Last Week Tonight where they bought and canceled some debts to prove it.

          Too bad the Venn diagram of the ultra-wealthy and people who would actually do that is more or less two distinct circles.

      It still won’t help. They know anyone who has student loans to repay isn’t rich.

      Tell everybody they’re bailing out the banks and everyone will get on board yesterday

      They will need to say it is an entrepreneurial bailout to make it seem business related.
