Asked multiple times how the plan is “paid for” — a promise President Biden made about most parts of his agenda — officials said it would be offset by the estimated $1.7 trillion decrease in the federal deficit expected this year The cost is not money the government must pay out, he said, but rather the amount of money the government will miss out on revenue each year, since borrowers who receive relief won’t be making those payments.
