Summary
President Biden announced student loan forgiveness for 150,000 additional borrowers, raising the total to over 5 million under his administration.
The latest beneficiaries include borrowers defrauded by schools, individuals with disabilities, and public service workers.
Biden emphasized his focus on expanding pre-existing forgiveness programs after his broad plan was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2023.
Conservatives and Trump argue the efforts overstep executive authority and unfairly shift costs.
Biden called the initiative a fulfillment of his promise to reduce financial barriers to education.
ITT: liberal apologists getting BIG MAD that the rest of us aren’t buying their spin trying to give credit to Biden for merely enforcing the existing law.
The fact that you began this comment with “ITT” makes we wonder if you’re doing a bit or not
The fact that you’re not refuting me makes me know you know I’m correct.
That person was wondering about a question and you implied your own bias. Makes taking anything else you say less credible
Yeah, I didn’t see anybody else enforcing that law or making sure these people were taken care of. Biden administration stepped in and made them follow the law, which would never have happened otherwise. This is the best he could do after his main plan was shot down by Republicans and the Supreme Court.
The President isn’t all-powerful in America and only has so much reach–and that’s a good thing when somebody like Trump comes in and wants to be the next dictator.
