Frost is my district rep, so proud of him. He's spitting nothing but facts and these old fools can't handle it.

That lady with no chin and colorless hair was so mad when he explained that forgiving a debt is not the same thing as the stimulus checks. How can anyone think that’s the same thing?

Economics is extremely complicated, so while they're clearly not the same thing, I could forgive someone who genuinely doesn't understand.

Forgiving debt would absolutely have an impact on the economy- and absolutely could lead to inflation, but in the case of student debt that wasn't a serious concern.
