That exactly what this is. Person A goes to school, takes out loans, diligently pays them back. Person B does the exact same thing, but gets his/her loans forgiven.

How is that fair?

It isn't. Fair would be allowing them to discharge their loans via bankruptcy and forcing the institutions that took the loans to eat most of that.

the world isn't fair and what's fair and what's right are rarely the same thing.
