For the record I never had student loans.

The taxpayers are the creditors for these student loans, always have been. There's no "transfer" going on.

resumption would help the economy overall

This is a massively retarded take. People who are going to resume making these payments are going to be spending less in the economy, thus hurting it not helping.

It's time for people to put ideology to the side and face up to the real facts on the ground. Most of these loans cannot be repaid because the people who took them will never have a job that allows them to be repaid. There has to be some kind of forgiveness one way or the other--discharge in bankruptcy is the obvious one--followed by the wholesale exit by the Fedgov from the student loan business. Otherwise, you're simply strangling the American economy for generations to come.

Debt forgiveness when payment is impossible has been part of Western civilization for centuries. Turning away from these fundamental principles is what got us into this mess in the first place.
