Editorial: Supreme Court should not yank away the lifeline for people drowning in student debt

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Student loans have mired millions of Americans in debt.
51% : For example, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. asked why it was fair to make the owner of a lawn care service, who took out a loan to start his business, pay taxes that subsidize debt forgiveness for a better-paid college graduate.
47% : And while addressing the problem of student debt in the future will involve measures other than loan forgiveness -- including reducing the costs of higher education and putting more emphasis on non-college opportunities -- debt relief is an indispensable part of the solution.
46% : That relief is far less generous than proposals for a blanket forgiveness of student debt up to $50,000 per borrower.
42% : The government argues persuasively that the challengers -- six states and two student loan borrowers who are excluded from some or all of the program's benefits -- haven't sustained the sort of injury that gives them standing to sue.
