A former Clinton administration adviser said he opposes a plan from President Joe Biden to cancel up to $10,000 in student loan debt for many borrowers.

“For that amount of money, you could fund free pre-K for every three- and four-year-old for 10 years,” Paul Begala, who is currently a CNN pundit, told CNN on Sunday. “You would do a lot more good for poor people ... and the underprivileged by doing pre-K. You could forgive all medical debt, which, unlike student debt, is not freely entered into.”
