as of 1 year ago, there was $1.5 trillion in student loan debt in the U.S. Compensating those who already paid off their loans would probably triple that number. The country's entire budget for this year was $4.4 trillion.

After that, free college for all would probably cost about $100 billion annually. I don't see any way this is a feasible proposal.

I don't advocate either of these things. I don't even know if I support universally wiping away all student loans. I think it should be an owe vs income thing.
