Minorities have it the worst. 53% say they can't pay their rent.

on one side you have kids who signed a paper stating that they understand they borrowed money, and have to pay it back, only to have the government step in and forgive a good bit of that debt. Great for those who benefit and essentially get 10 grand as a gift. On the other hand, you have hard working people who were just demolished during the shutdown economy struggling to survive, and could really use something like this, to you know, survive. It's a bit of a slap in the face to anyone who didn't take out debt to go to school, or did and paid it back as they were supposed to. If we are going to piss away money and print more and more, give it to the folks who need it, not just the folks who you need to vote for you.

How are these two things related?
As a non US member I may be missing something but I can't seem to see why there is a correlation between the two things?

Is it possible that these kids will now have 10k less in debt repayments and be able to pump it straight back into the businesses that need it?
Can it be part of a knock on jump start?
I know kids will spend if they can.
