Because inflation eats away at the debt by making it worth less over time. If u borrow 100 with a 10% interest but inflation is 15%. The real value of that debt goes down. If u want an extreme example look at Venezuela. Any one with a debt held in Venezuelan dollars basically doesn’t have to pay it back. Most student debts are fixed rates which inflation hurts the most

### REPLY:
Again, if your wage is not keeping up with inflation (like it has been the case since the 2008) that does not apply. There are millions who have had gotten paltry pay raises over the last 10 years. Inflation is kicking their ass. Your point only works if inflation is also raising your wages, however if there is a stagflation scenario (like it is now for many parts of the economy) then it does not apply.
