It’s not irrelevant in what I am saying. Regardless of the merits or problems with the current Biden program, what I am saying, is at least he is doing something to try to deal with the student debt. I am saying that your answer is to do nothing because your preferred solution is not being implemented.

1) Me: Biden is doing the debt relief. It’s not awesome but he is at least doing something
2) You: this is bad and should not be done even though my preferred method (which I agree is the better answer) is not and will not be done.
That is why I am saying your choice is to do nothing and just let the problem grow. Your view is that unless your method is done, then no other options such as debt relief should be tried. I don’t know that we can say 100% that the current debt relief program will result in what you imagine will happen. Maybe. But I think someone that has paid on their loans for 25 years, only paid interest and had their owed debt actually increase due to the predatory structure of the loan and has zero hope of ever paying off the loan should get relief. Once again, I think you should actually take the time to examine exactly who the relief program applies to vs making assumptions since you have such a strong view about it.
Your supposed "solution" is not a solution to the actual problem. It does absolutely NOTHING to solve the problem. It permits - even encourages - a continuation of exploitive student loans going forward.
It just takes money from one group of people and transfers it to another group of people who are whining louder. And it is a *regressive* wealth transfer - i.e., it transfers money from poorer people to richer people. Regressive transfers are generally contrary to the professed principles of every ideology, from far left to far right. Your proposal is absolutely unprincipled.
Why won't Biden propose any solutions to the student debt problem? Because the beneficiaries of the current system are the bloated administrations of universities, which are filled uniformly with progressives. Democrats are corruptly pandering to one of their constituencies by averting their eyes to the actual cause of the student debt crisis.
