In a legislative context when we were also doing the stimmie checks, I think you’d have said that was arbitrary. Why send $11,200 to people with student loan debt and $1,200 to people without? We could send everyone a flat check whether or not they had debt. — PolitiTweet.org

The big difference between PPP forgiveness and student loan forgiveness is that we were in a steep recession in 2020 and needed stimulus. Which raises the question, should we have canceled $10k per debtor in student loan debt back in 2020 as part of CARES? — PolitiTweet.org

But here we get out of the real of tedious economics and into the feels — there’s an idea that I am too much of a cold hearted technocrat to understand that student loan debt is in fact a form of uniquely odious economic burden that calls for a tailored remedy. — PolitiTweet.org
