ANOTHER POLITICAL EUPHEMISM

   Biden-Harris Administration Announces Final Student Loan Pause Extension Through December 31 and Targeted Debt Cancellation to Smooth Transition to Repayment, August 24, 2022.  Link: https://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/biden-harris-administration-announces-final-student-loan-pause-extension-through-december-31-and-targeted-debt-cancellation-smooth-transition-repayment#:~:text=Today%2C%20the%20U.S.%20Department%20of,resume%20payments%20in%20January%202023.

   This is the caption which the U. S. Department of Education employed to announce the details of a new student loan policy. Notice the euphemism Targeted Debt Cancellation. What does it mean?

   Nothing is canceled. The president by degree has transferred the debt obligation from the student to the taxpayers. Right?

   Words matter.
