One party stood vehemently, unmoving, in 2005 to change the law in order to make it more difficult for student loans to be subject to bankruptcy, based on false pretences. And quite literally no one cared. There's no political will to make student loans more easily dischargeable, even merely repealing the 2005 law. Just like there's no political will to consider education a right, let alone higher education. In the U.S. education is a product you buy, rich people get more and better versions of it.

But as it turns out, an infinitesimal number of students even try to have these loans discharged.
