Top Obama economic adviser torches Biden's student loan forgiveness plan

Jason Furman, a Harvard professor of economics and the chairman of former President Barack Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers, heartily criticized President Joe Biden’s Wednesday action to forgive $10,000 in student loan debt for borrowers earning less than $125,000 per year.

“Pouring roughly half trillion dollars of gasoline on the inflationary fire that is already burning is reckless. Doing it while going well beyond one campaign promise ($10K of student loan relief) and breaking another (all proposals paid for) is even worse,” Furman, one of the Left’s leading inflation hawks, wrote in a lengthy Twitter thread Wednesday afternoon.
