There was no attempt to fix the actual problem with student loans which is that they’re a broken system

The student loan debts relief plans were all shot down by republicans and the ultra right wing supreme court.

Any actual fixes need to be passed by congress, any meaningful legislation is categorically opposed by republicans and their corporate interests. Even with a democratic majority, the republicans abuse the filibuster and procedural blocks to avoid passing any legislation.

Trump was only better in the sense that at the time his economy was great to get a job in, in tech, in the US.

Trump inherited a prosperous economy from Obama and managed to rack up the largest deficit in history via his tax cuts and refusal to fully staff or fund various government agencies. Including the NSC Pandemic Early Warning program that existed to provide critical supplies and logistics 2 months before the Covid19 pandemic!

On top of that, he printed trillions of dollars in relief checks WITH HIS FUCKING NAME ON THEM! That has led to inflation and corporate price gouging!

Trumps tax cuts are now starting to come into effect for the middle class and will continue into the next president’s term as they will continue to increase the deficit and raise taxes on the middle class. Meanwhile, the tax cuts to the wealthiest individuals and corporations are at an all time low, permanently.

Get your facts straight.

I may not like Biden, but he has done as best as he can to fix the steaming pile of shit Trump left after his administration. If you are going to blame anyone, it is congress, the Republican controlled courts and local state governments.

Laws come from the legislative branch, not the president!

Bud it’s 2024 you can inherit anything you want from Trump to Biden, but it’s literally the end of his term. Trumps to blame for Covid. Happened on his watch. Bidens to blame for the economy. Happened on his watch.

Some nice points you make are not lost on me. But there comes a time where you have to take things at face value.

It's the Democrats propping up ultra-right Republicans with millions of dollars so that they can avoid change and blame it on the latter as well as have a propped up opposition to be the "lesser evil" against." You can't even show Biden advocating for the fixing of the system of student loans! Also do you think only Republicans are ruled by corporate interests?

I hope you're not talking about Trump's administration in general as well, because I could point to Biden's border wall and immigrant concentration camps among a slew of other things.

On top of that, he printed trillions of dollars in relief checks WITH HIS FUCKING NAME ON THEM! That has led to inflation and corporate price gouging!

It would take all day for me to explain to you how little you understand inflation, here's a start. ALSO WHO THE FUCK CARES THAT HIS NAME WAS ON THE CHECKS? MSNBC-brained nonsense genuinely. I guess you prefer Biden's strategy of telling cities to give all of their Covid relief funds to their police departments so they can more effectively brutalize the poor.

Trumps tax cuts are now starting to come into effect for the middle class and will continue into the next president’s term as they will continue to increase the deficit and raise taxes on the middle class. Meanwhile, the tax cuts to the wealthiest individuals and corporations are at an all time low, permanently.

If I hear the term "middle class" again the physical manifestation of my knowledge will pour out of my head. You don't even know what you're saying.

According to the ideals of the system and the all-important "checks and balances," the president should be able to "check" the legislative branch, correct? The president can either directly veto legislation created by Congress or "pocket veto" legislation by simply neglecting to sign it into law.
