How are bank bailouts different from student debt cancellation?

Old joke:

A boss is interviewing for a new position and has 3 very qualified candidates; an engineer, a scientist, and an accountant. He devises a clever test to decide who gets the job by asking each one how wide his desk is.

The engineer gets out his ruler and says the desk is 5 feet 1.3 inches wide.

The scientist measures the desk with a ruler, adjusting it for temperature and humidity, and says the desk is 5 feet 1.3112 inches wide.

The accountant is asked how wide the desk is and replies, “How wide do you want it?”

Of course, there is a sexist version of this joke, but it will probably get me banned.
