Student debt forgiveness actually ended up working for the people who held their debts the longest out of all applicants. Ask your senator about extending the pell grant before saying something else of ill intent towards someone who tried to help.
you mean they pardoned a tiny minority of debtors so they could say they did something?
similar thing happened here and guess what, they aint trying to help, just conning gullible folk into thinking they are actually doing shit.
you know they have the power to actually solve this issue from the roots, right?
same with the prision camps at the us-mexico border, or the endless wars, or privatized healthcare. always starting this shit then pretending a tiny bandaid afterwards was a big win.
Biden didn't forgive the loans. A program that existed before Biden took office cancelled the loans. Biden doesn't deserve credit for that beyond selecting someone competent to head the department of education.
Calling it a forgiveness absolutly a misnomer. If your offer of forgiveness is contingent on work, that's not forgiveness.
