"Whatever your view of student-debt cancellation, the inflation argument is a red herring and should not influence policy. Taking that logic to the extreme, canceling food stamps would do far more to reduce inflation—but that would be cruel and inhumane, and fortunately, no one has suggested doing so," he said.
He suggested the possibility that rather than worsening inflation, student loan handouts could possibly reduce that issue which has become a hallmark of the Biden economy.
