Then again, I went to school in a different age. I had no debt when I exited. I managed to almost pay my way through graduate school, but of course I had strong support that kept me from having to pay rent through those years. So yes, I like the idea of loan forgiveness, but there is also a part of me that believes in moral hazard.

Ditto here; I had Social Security benefits to cover my undergrad degree, BEOG funding and a TA position to cover grad school - at a time when in-state tuition was like $300 per semester, something you could cover with a part-time and/or summer job.
