This is going into place in NC and SC, two states that wobbled purple in the last election and which are currently becoming deep red. There’s a ton of unemployment around here and this would be a cunning payoff to keep a number of heritage Democrats on the plantation, especially older white men who otherwise would vote anti-Democrat (not pro-Republican).

While that sounds good, jobs have hemorrhaged in NC. For many it is too late, they have either lost their homes or will despite what Obama does. They can forgive the entire debt, many of this people are already in foreclosure and cannot put food on the table.
