Student debt forgiveness would result in spending money in wide range of area of the economy in turn inflation happens. The other side will be spent on feeding their cocaine addiction, it will be spent but only on a narrow area of the economy in turn little to no inflation.
Sorry kid, you can't get your car repaired this month and it's another week of beans and rice. If you had any more money, we'd suffer from Inflation! Now think on that, because I'm taking the private jet to my vacation home for champagne brunch, which are necessary business costs that grow the economy.
Vacation home in Italy* business costs that grow the italian* economy.
Not railing against Italy necessarily.
You’re not wrong.
Inflation happens when too much cash is chasing too few goods/services.
That probably won’t happen immediately, because student loan holders will probably spend on pretty simple and fairly elastic stuff like food, transportation, entertainment, etc.
But that money eventually ends up in the pockets of wealthier individuals who will compete more ruthlessly over luxuries, vacations, properties, assets, etc.
If you add $1.9tn to the economy, you better have a good idea of where that money will end up long-term, and have a plan to prevent it from pooling in one spot.
So I’d say any plan to eliminate $1.9tn in working class debt should probably come with a plan to increase taxes on the owner class who will ultimately suck up most of that $1.9tn.
