The only poor decision made was for the taxpayer to offer student loans in the first place. This necessitated taking the loans in order to be competitive. Canceling existing student debt does not "reward" people who took the loans, it simply nullifies the original exploitation. The only person being "penalized" is the taxpayer who deserves it for handing out $100k loans to 18 year olds.

No, other poor decisions were made. Yes, it rewards people who took out tens of thousands of dollars in loans to prolong adolescence at college when others didn't make that decision or enjoy that experience. You seem to think people with debt are the only ones at a loss here.
