Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : Relief from student debt is entirely unlike those policies on a moral level, and in fact, means-tested student-debt relief is probably good policy, on balance.
54% :Biden suggested only once that this program was related to COVID relief: After listing past COVID-relief programs, he said, "Now it's time to address the burden of student debt in the same way."
53% : Surely many middle-class Americans with student loans are, but many are not.
49% : The Roberts Court would probably find the nexus between student debt and a fading pandemic even more tenuous.
41% : The Biden administration's recently announced plan to reduce student debt for borrowers who earn less than $125,000 is popular, according to recent polls.
41% : The OLC concluded that the coronavirus pandemic fit the text of the statute as a "national emergency" and that a debt-relief program would ensure that Americans with student debt were not left in a "worse position."
36% : Joseph E. Stiglitz: Actually, cancelling student debt will cut inflation
30% : The Roberts Court relied on this "major-questions doctrine" approach to strike down two of the Biden administration's boldest COVID-emergency policies -- the eviction moratorium and the vaccine-or-testing mandate at certain places of employment -- and a significant Obama-era climate-change policy in West Virginia v. EPA.
27% : Progressives were rightly critical of that administration's bad-faith reasons for Muslim bans, border walls, citizenship questions, family-separation policies, and more.
