I'd also add that the people upset about this are also some of the same people who complain we don't have enough skilled labor and must open up more H1-B visas.

So let me get this straight. A day or two ago in this thread, I was lectured at for pointing out that I paid off my entire law school debt by myself because it earned me a good enough job with upward mobility that it was much easier for me to pay off those debts. But out of this side of your mouth today, we should be subsidizing "me," 25 years later.
Got it.
If that's a policy decision our country wants to make, let Congress take it up. But for right now, to tailor relief to the people in this country who most need it in August of 2022, I'm going to stand by my position that there are better donees of our tax dollars than couples making $200K+ with post-graduate degree debt.
