Going $200k into debt is not possible with Federal student loans alone. Most of that debt would have come from banks, so it's not even really an issue of taxpayer funds being negligently used. You have a hard cap as to what you're allowed to borrow with federal loans, and it's not nearly that much. Based on the cost of your school's tuition, but only to a certain point.
So it's not the government's fault there, it's the banks who lent to her.
