> Forgiving someone of a $10K or $20K loan is the exact same thing as sending them a check for the same amount.

False. The government isn't holding the note for student loans: banks are. Paying off these student loans goes to a bank's balance sheet whereas checks sent to people get spent on any number of consumer goods (or invested into Wall Street Bets stonks if that's your thing).
