I'm not sure that the Democratic establishment will be trusted to run things on this one. Do you really think Chelsea Manning said "Hey, guys, I'm thinking of running against a nine-term rep, two-term senate incumbent - Y'all cool with that?"

The issue isn't the folx racking up student loan debt - it's the folx who already have it. Last year I helped my supervisor figure out the student loans he took out to send his son to college. His son has three kids of his own. Dude had to move into a smaller apartment to pay for an education fifteen years amortized.
