    Why don’t all those with student debt just form a corporation together? Then they’d be too big to fail and require a bailout.

      Can’t you buy medical debt for a fraction of what is owed from collections agencies? Can a bunch of people do the same thing with student loan debt?

        Yes, and John Oliver once did a segment on Last Week Tonight where they bought and canceled some debts to prove it.

        Too bad the Venn diagram of the ultra-wealthy and people who would actually do that is more or less two distinct circles.
