A good take on student loan forgiveness from the Heisenberg Report.
The ‘Flashy, Gimmicky’ Student Debt Piñata
Something good happening to someone else isn’t the same as something bad happening to you. Someone else’s gain isn’t your loss, unless you can be made to believe you’ve somehow “paid for” that gain. American politicians habitually perpetuate the poisonous (and manifestly false) notion that through tax dollars, other people’s gains are everywhere and always your loss. In addition to being almost criminally injurious to societal cohesion, mischaracterizing federal programs as taxpayer “funded” is a road to nowhere.
