My car loan identifies as a student loan. I was forced into it because I wanted my dream car. I should be driving a bugatti because it is a human right. Covered or nah?

Have to be honest, we’re only a few hours into the student loan forgiveness debate thing and already I’m tired of “my mortgage identifies as a student loan”.
I expect to see some funnier tweets this time tomorrow, folks. Sleep on it.

My mortgage identifies as a college loan.  Its pronouns are student/debt.  So I can expect that to be paid off, right?
