Typical republican bullshit. All they want is suffering.
Unless it personally affects them. SMH
What ever happened to the loan forgiveness plan where all they were doing was correctly applying the law to loans that should have been legally forgiven already, but weren't, due to bureaucracy?
They did start to clean some of that up actually.
That's nice to hear. Was worried they'd somehow stop that one too.
Don't worry, just vote Dem 🙈
I always wonder if this was by design. What I mean is, Biden and them knew it would most certainly fail in this way, yet it looks good during the election year because "at least he tried". I have no evidence for this, just tin foil hat speculation.
Biben doing good thing? Actually Biben doing bad thing.
Checkmate 😏
the supreme court literally rewrote an existing law to overturn the original ruling. Like it explicitly says "the debt can be forgiven in a crisis" and was used by the trump admin to halt interest payments the supreme court ruling was literally going "not like this!". Read the dissent on that case it points out how insane the ruling is.
Republicans torpedoing this is political stupidity... it's basically a free win for Biden where he looks like he did a good thing and doesn't actually need to allocate the funds.
If voters pay attention it's a no brainer. However the stability of American hegemony is entirely reliant on people who have absolutely no clue.
He would look even better if it went through and people felt the relief. It's a win-bigger win for Biden, Republicans chose smaller win.
It's not stupid if it stops Biden from looking good. The same thing happened during the negotiations for Obamacare.
Except that Biden looks great - far more young voters will be peeved over the GOP blocking this than would have actually benefitted from the policy. "Biden tried to forgive your loans but the GOP just had to block it in the courts" - it might make Biden look somewhat incompetent but it mostly just makes Republicans look like they hate young people who are struggling.
...far more young voters will be peeved over the GOP blocking this than would have actually benefitted from the policy.
Well, the ones who are actually paying attention will. The GOP is throwing everything the legally can to try to remain in power and get their orange dude elected to push the christofashism.
The Biden team needs to take their gloves off and go full out blasting all the shit the GOP is doing on every possible platform and media available with lawyers ready to intercept any GOP sue to silence them.
Also, get Kyle Clark to moderate the presidential debate, the guy is a GOAT https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPREMgbVL/
