By a 2-to-1 margin, voters support federal forgiveness of at least some student loan debt: 64% support, just 29% oppose.
53% back Biden's move to extend the payment suspension through the end of August. 36% oppose.
In economics there's a concept of "Pareto improving" which basically means making some people better off without making anybody else worse off. And, well, this is a Pareto improving thing! Except for some loan servicers, I guess, but we haven't yet elevated them to Patriotic Troop status.
