What motivates

This is a leftist mindset. External locus of control. "He's not a thief, he just stole because society motivated him to steal. He a gud boy!"

I don't think federal student loans should even be a thing. Yes, the system is predatory. I don't think PPP was a good use of money either. But you asked what the difference is and I told you.

PPP - The government trying to pave over a pothole they made.
Forgiving student loans - Demanding the government fill in a you made in your backyard.

That's the difference. You might not like it and you can argue all you want about why the student was motivated to dig a hole in their yard, but the key difference between the two is responsibility for how the situation was created. I even suggested that tuition wasted due to COVID overreaction should be forgiven, so your merchant/student class argument against me is extra retarded.

For whatever it's worth, the government should have never offered student loans and they shouldn't have shut down a damn thing for a cold either.
