This is either not true or "the true burden of debt" is something different than I would expect.

The true burden of debt is the interest less the inflation rate. If you borrow at 8% and the inflation rate is 4% then the true burden of the debt is 4% per annum. Inflation does not reduce the true burden of debt; it is one of the factors in determining the true burden of debt.
