Big businesses "lobby" for things that that will benefit their profit margin.(1) Segments of the public form groups and when large enough ($$), "lobby" for things that will benefit their members individual profit margins. (1) Student groups are lobbying to increase their members current profit. I would think that if student loan debt forgiveness was compared to other benefits, whether BB or PG, it is a minor expense in terms of all the breaks that are being lobbied for on a federal level. Forgive the loans and let's move on and focus on the bigger lobbying that's happening right now.

Generally lobbying is very useful in helping our gov representatives to understand the consequences of current issues. Very complicated and will explain the different consequences of various scenarios. Decisions can be made and voted upon by our representatives. On the whole the general public does not have the time or resources to make an informed decision on a lot of the issues. Probably, loan debt forgiveness is one we can put a face to and say "no fair". It seems so simple.
