Why is it so Hard to discharge Student Loan Debt in Bankruptcy?

There has been much debate over the issue of student loans in America in the past few months, and lawmakers and legal professionals are weighing in on the issue. The National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA) has several strong articles that support making student loans dischargeable in a bankruptcy. I am in agreement with NACBA –   student loans should be dischargeable in order to provide much needed relief for recent graduates, their families, and their communities.
