> The gov't would want to make the debt non-dischargeable like they do with student loans

That's a strange assertion, considering there are dischargeable government loans, and private student loans cannot be discharged.

> I think that would be a terrible idea. The gov't would want to make the debt non-dischargeable like they do with student loans. It would be devastating.

I fail to see how this is worse than current predatory loan scenarios.

Because current predatory loans can be discharged through bankruptcy.

You must be too young to remember when loans were dischargeable before the banks got the laws changed.
