The problem is that it doesn't actually help people who are going to contribute to the economy. It actually just appeases both bases. The left is happy because it isn't funded by entitlement programs, while bailing out art history and music theory majors. The right is happy because trust fund babies who never had to take out a loan don't have to contribute. It just harms white collar workers with student debt, who wont get relief, and whose rates, if not locked in, while certainly rise. The actual economic base. But that's American politics now, appeal to the fringes, get the votes, while destroying the republic.
