***TRIGGER WARNING***
Quick, millennial snowflakes, run to your nearest safe space! Big Hoss is about to rain some harsh reality down onto you. (Incis0r, don't worry. You have your head on straight.) Blanket student loan forgiveness is an economic and political impossibility for many, many reasons. (
http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2016/08/15/mass_student_loan_forgiveness_is_a_terrible_idea.html) If you were duped by some politician (they absolutely know better) to think otherwise, you're a *****. It's called pandering for your vote and you fell for it.
I was listening to NPR a while back and they were discussing current loan forgiveness options through IBR. There are grumblings about it in Washington DC. Turns out forgiving those loans is going to cost way more than the government originally projected. Surprised? It also turns out that it's disproportionately helping graduate and professional students (read lawyers, doctors, and dentists), which is far from the original intent. Expect a cap on what will be forgiven. I predict around $40,000 to $50,000. I've discussed this elsewhere. (

The long and short of it is that you signed your name on the loans and you better be prepared to pay them back.
