Couldn't help but notice how the total amount of loan forgiveness we taxpayers must pay has been omitted from this article.

"The rate of borrowers who are in default or more than 90 days past due is approaching 40% and total student loan debt is around $1.4 trillion, making it sound like this is a problem of out-of-control ballooning debt. However, the average student loan balance for students in default is only $16,381 according to a recent report by Demos, virtually identical to the $15,654 balance for people paying on their student loans. The oft-highlighted stories of the humanities major with a six-figure loan balance is not a good description of the situation."  Source:  Forbes
