Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I wouldn't call pursuing another path to forgive $10K giving up, I mean it's literally the opposite of giving up.
Also its 12 months, not 6 months
And you are ignoring the benefits of the SAVE Plan https://www.npr.org/2023/07/14/1187545921/student-loan-forgiveness-save-repayment

Biden is doing a ton considering he has had 0 help from Congress who has power of the purse. If you want interest rates adjusted you gotta go through Congress.
The dude you replied to isn't here to debate or exchange ideas. He's here to make sure you don't believe in the process and don't turn out to vote. It's the same strategy the right used in the run up to the 2016 and 2020 election. Vote out every scumsucking republican you have especially in the statehouse where the real power lies. Get everyone you know to get registered and get them to the voting booth.
I agree that's a high possibility, either way though I like to respond to posts like that for other potential readers. If OP wants to admit they are wrong, great, but it's important we counter these kinds of posts with facts so others understand the truth as I agree disinformation is a powerful tool so it needs to be cut off at the knees.
