Quick comment on the tweet’s rhetoric:
Step 1: Government incentivizes orgy of debt.
Step 2: Many semi-responsible people indulge.
Step 3: Predictable economic disaster ensues.
Step 4: Debtors ask government to wave its magic money wand to disappear their debts.
Correction to Step 4: They *demand* the disappearance of the debt.
Step 5: Throw in claim that it’s about justice, not mercy at others’ expense.
Step 6: Don’t forget to play the race card too.
