So I actually have a question wrt to the fact the government backs most tuition loans: what is really the difference if the US starts a forgiveness program or everyone defaults and the government pays back the lenders? Aren't the tax payers paying something similar both ways?

Isn’t defaulting on student loans and not having the money garnished incredibly hard? If so, it wouldn’t be possible for more than a small fraction to do it.
