“This brings the total debt cancellation my administration has approved to $132 billion for over 3.6 million Americans through various actions,” Biden said in a statement.
Stop complaining about how old he is and look at his actions.
Or maybe vote for Trump so we can have Walmart Hitler. SMH.
I’m still gonna complain about how old he is. But I’m also not voting for Trump
If you want trump to lose, just keep your mouth shut, or better yet get in the bandwagon and be excited about Biden. It doesn’t have to be real. You can fake it.
Holding your nose while you vote is a recipe for a trump win though.
Biden has been doing a lot of good work. I wasn’t a fan when he ordered the rail workers back to work but since then be has increased the cost of carbon in negotiations, canceled the debt he was able to without the Senate and proposed relaxing drug restrictions on cannabis.
He isn’t perfect but it’s more good news than I got through 2016-2020 and he’s doing it while getting stonewalled on every decision by a Republican controlled Congress.
Also he kept fighting for the rail workers and got them sick time, just off camera.
Honestly I think that pisses the Privs off more because it objectively proved that there’s options to get what’s needed done aside from setting everything on fire and starting over
that doesn’t come close to what the workers are owed, it wasn’t the biden administration’s place to insert itself im negotiations that NEEDED to result in a strike, for the good of the whole fucking country…
no, he sold out the rail workers and all they got was a fraction of the demands they they need met.

It is literally a responsibility of Congress to manage, by law. Biden helping is just him doing people a solid. Congress made the choice and you can’t starve cities.
no, he sold out the rail workers and all they got was a fraction of the demands they they need met.
Whoever told you this lied to you.
Ok now compare Bidens performance to a better democratic candidate instead of trump
I want to see this better democratic candidate running for president first.
Biden is objectively worse than a hypothetical better democratic candidate.
What a stupid take. You’re saying that a real person that is actually doing fairly well in comparison to his opposition- is worse than an imaginary one?
Unfortunately these were debts that already had the potential to be cancelled due to existing rules. Turns out, just nobody has been following the rules and actually cancelling those debts for all these decades.
i.e. They can’t really be contributed to Biden “cancelling debt”. They should have been cancelled anyways. Read: Unfortunately for Biden
It kinda sounds like they wouldn’t have been canceled if he hadn’t made the effort. That’s no difference from any other debt forgiveness that’s within his power.
Great, now do the rest.
He already would have, if congress and SCOTUS weren’t fighting him every step of the way.
Exactly this. I still have the letter I received that my debt would be forgiven, as well as the letter after the GOP challenges that said oops, not really.
He could be giving daily speechs about it and jam up the airwaves. A never ending assault and shame tactic until they would have to give in.
I don’t think they would have to. It’s getting harder and harder to shame Republicans. The Republican Party has also got decades of anti intellectualism on their side, plus the more recent attacks on higher education. They’ve spent years laying the groundwork for a fight just like this one.
A lot of people think that students deserve to be held responsible for legal loans they voluntarily accepted as adults. They don’t think it’s fair for college students to get a bailout when they themselves are struggling to pay their mortgage. I think student loan forgiveness is a sound investment in our country’s future, but unfortunately, it’s not my decision.
Remember, much of the Republican base is selfish, and has significant disdain for younger generations. This fight appeals to their ideas about personal responsibility (for others), justice (unless they’re asking us bend the rules in their own favor), cutting government spending (unless it’s on themselves), and the cruel satisfaction of hurting smartass liberal college brats.
In area I live, lots of farmers were definitely against it. Which is SOOOOOOOOOOO ironic. At least I think that’s irony. Someone fact check me please.
Just in time for election season!
