President Joe Biden on Friday announced plans to cancel student debt for about 55,000 public sector workers, as his administration pushes to zero out balances for more people in the final weeks of his administration.

You’re a clown and a fool.
I think the comment you were answering is sarcastic.
Perhaps, but means testing is a Republican dog whistle that people will belt out with their full chest.
