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

But here we get out of the realm 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
