What is your stance on "canceling" mortgage and credit card debt?

Like college debt, it was taken on willingly and its hard to argue that consumers having more money to spend won't drive economic growth.

Those kinds of debt can be escaped. Sell your home and buy a new one. Declare bankruptcy.

Student loan debt is taken on by literal children with no credit with the promise of a good job and cannot be escaped under really any circumstances. Saying "well you just shouldn't have gone to college" is blaming kids for decisions their parents ultimately made.
