If they cut checks and mailed them out and people payed 10k off their loans, who gets the money in the end? (hint: the answer is the same)

That doesn't make it not worth doing though. Clearing those debts, for most people, means they suddenly have hundreds of dollars more a month to save, invest, or put into the economy.

Everything costs way more right now, the deduction will be taxed and this will cause even more inflation

You're all poorer for these 2 years so far and the next two will be even worse

If they have an outstanding loan it’s probably better to finish paying that before they look to spending or investing anything, right? A free $10k from daddy-government isn’t going to cover the rest of their outstanding loan

I have 3k of credit card debt left so until I pay that no investment is worth doing. The only thing I spend money on besides bills is maybe dates and maybe another donation to p99 if I continue to play casually

Depends on the interest rate. CC I think is higher so good call.

While former private equity executive and Federal Reserve Bank Chair Jerome Powell takes aim at workers with a pledge to “get wages down” to combat inflation, he has declined to implement a law to reduce the skyrocketing paychecks of his former colleagues on Wall Street.

A BANK OF AMERICA executive stated that “we hope” working Americans will lose leverage in the labor market in a recent private memo obtained by The Intercept. Making predictions for clients about the U.S. economy over the next several years, the memo also noted that changes in the percentage of Americans seeking jobs “should help push up the unemployment rate.”
