If it is a means-tested program, say a more expansive version of IBR where you have to pay an income-adjusted amount for a certain number of years to have the loan forgiven, I would be okay with that. If it were a straight up give away to everyone with loans regardless of whether they could afford to pay for it, I would be angry.
