We actually already have public service loan forgiveness programs. I think they're great and would support expanding them to additional fields.

Maybe you should have to do that in order to clear the loans, but if you do I think it should still bite the institutions that overcharged the student just like actual bankruptcy should.

There needs to be negative pressure applied to the price of education.
