And how many people dont realize Biden tried and got locked out from Republicans sueing debt relief.
he did get some things through that improved the situation somewhat.
A very large portion of people on lemmy seem to think that.
This isn't progressive, this just alienates working class voters. Obligatory: not American, but as a poor (European) person that didn't get to go to uni because I and my family were too poor I'd be absolutely pissed if now I had to pay my bosses' (and all the other privileged people) debt. Don't get me wrong, student credits are a most predatory and awful thing, you should make it illegal but the debt people had contracted shouldn't be payed off by the taxpayer (read workers, the rich aren't taxed).
"I didn't get any assistance, so people in a country I don't live in shouldn't either! I'd rather no one get assistance than potentially provide assistance to some people I don't think deserve it."
followed by
"Student debt is awful and should be illegal but, while it was legal you agreed to it, so 🤷🏽♂️ unless only the rich pay it off."
