Any forgiveness is likely to be executed by the forgiving entity paying off the loans.

The federal government is not going to use a pen to steal trillions of dollars from lenders holding contracts for repayment. That’s a banana republic action.



The federal government is the one holding all that debt, so that is exactly what is going to happen.


There is a high 8/low 9 digit inventory of private student loans, not held federally.


If we're being cynical, I think they would forgive the debt and bail out any large financial institutions who are damaged by the act of doing so. It would be very in character.
