@paulg Something like ~50% of student loan debt is for graduate school. So one alternative would be to forgive debt associated with *undergraduate* instruction at *public* universities. That might capture a more lower-to-middle-income (and FWIW less Democratic) group. — PolitiTweet.org

@paulg I don't think we're in any disagreement! I'm just saying the motivation for this is pretty cynical: 1) it can be done by executive action and 2) it serves narrow political self-interest (people with mid-to-high incomes but student loan debt are quite likely to be Democrats). — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias Worth noting that for cyclical reasons the left-of-center coalition was poised to be very large in ~2008 so Obama had an "all-of-the-above" coalition of 1) leftists 2) liberal centrists, and 3) working-class socially conservative Dems. But, those groups often don't get along. — PolitiTweet.org
