Yes, it's exactly the same but different speeds.

People with savings and salaries got a nice 7% wealth tax this year

The government, with it's massive 20 trillion dollar debt, got a nice 7% write down on the debt, so they can quickly spend this voucher again in a matter of weeks.

As someone with student loans and a mortgage, I got a 7% write down but a 18% pay bump this year! Hope I get it for several more years to come
