Can't believe this was down voted for asking a legitimate question related to the topic. This isn't reddit.

Support for Biden's student loan cancellation is for most a political calculation, where people who would be for more robust measures to make college affordable support it as a partial measure, a step in the right direction. A common right wing tactic is to stymie left wing political priorities to the point where asking questions like this seems reasonable, even though the asker is often being disingenuous and would be against any affordable college plan that increased government spending or in which the government played an otherwise larger role. If this commenter wasn't being disingenuous, they had the unfortunate plight of absorbing a lot of built-up frustration over this tactic haha
