“Cancellation is a handout” is true, yes. So is the mortgage interest deduction, the $500k primary home income tax exemption, the pass through income deduction, and so forth. Those handouts primarily benefit the wealthiest. Why is student loan cancellation worse?

Cancellation is a handout. The extent to which it’s just numbers on a page is only the extent to which all money is just numbers on a page. Forgoing repayment is a cost to the government (and to taxpayers) just like writing a check. For you, because you’re special?
