It's not a gamble for the banks since taxpayers have to bail them out when they fail. Student loans can't be discharged through bankruptcy (thanks Biden!).

My argument doesn't have anything to do with the pandemic. Just that there is no outrage over inflationary spending when it benefits banks or wealthy business owners.

The school requires you to pay to attend. I'm guessing people wouldn't take out loans if they didn't have to.
