    Especially since the language of the HEROES act explicitly states that they can waive or modify. According to the majority forgiveness is clearly not equal to waiving, since you know, they’re different words and it’s impossible for different words to have the same meaning. If congress wanted to give the secretary the power to forgive, they should’ve written forgive instead of waive in the act /s
