Clever.

Now magnify the difference between that and biden paying off student debt at the debate in simple terms and I’ll be satisfied, despite the fact that it’s pandering.

A government has every right to eliminate (forgive) a tax - because it is the government that levied the tax to begin with - and therefore the government’s to forgive.

Conversely, the government has no right to forgive a private debt. To do so would be to decide arbitrarily that certain private lenders will not be repaid. Private debts are not the government’s to forgive.

If you you can’t see the difference, I can’t help you.
