LOAN FORGIVENESS: Others will pay

The front page of the Coeur d’Alene Press tells us that up to 1/3 of Idahoans will get debt “wiped out” by the student loan forgiveness program.

That debt will not be wiped out, it will be transferred to the other 2/3 of Idahoans.

The lenders still get their money, the students keep their education benefits, the over-priced schools still keep their money and one political party get pandering points.

And 2/3 of Idahoans get stuck with the bill.
