You are the one telling me bankruptcy has consequences

The point is school debt is specifically excluded from bankruptcy by law so people have no recourse

You ask why not forgive all debts, and my response is we don’t need to do that, if debt is enough of a burden people can file bankruptcy

Yes, there are consequences and people have to make that choice

Then the question would become: why should the system give such harsh repercussions for those who must file bankruptcy while those who get student loan forgiveness have no repercussions? What's more: those who get student loan forgiveness are much more likely to have a degree and have a higher income. In addition, student loan forgiveness applies to everyone with the debt, not just those who are in financial distress.
