Many Americans are discussing widespread debt cancellation at a time when the government has frozen payments on federal student loans for more than two years and President Joe Biden has debated canceling some of the debt altogether.
Some people without student loan debt described debt forgiveness as a handout. Others said they were not against the idea of student loan relief, but hoped it would go to the people struggling the most rather than to the already wealthy.
Biden has yet to say if and how much debt would be canceled, but he campaigned on erasing $10,000 in debt per borrower. The payment moratorium is scheduled to last through August, though it's expected to be renewed.
