He forgave a little over $150 billion so far
Most of his reform so far has focused more on making the current paths that existed more obtainable, ex: public service loan forgiveness. So he has made student loan forgiveness where you meet specific qualifications much better, which is very helpful, but not everyone qualifies.
Blanket student loan forgiveness hasn’t happened, because it was successfully blocked by the Republicans (after like 4 attempts). I assume this is referring to blanket forgiveness.
Could be wrong on all this, if anyone spots something incorrect just say it.
He should just declare it an official act, then it’s immune to prosecution
But the courts can still block it no?
Why wait?
He started forgiving student loan debt in August of 2022. The Republican Supreme Court keeps blocking him.
The vast majority of that should have been forgiven years or decades ago under existing programs…
It’s just they put loan servicers in charge of the loan forgiveness programs, so they were intentionally understaffed and prone to errors.
When people hold up dollar amounts like Biden is doing a lot, that number is inflated by fraudulent interest Biden is just paying with our tax money.
Is it better than him ignoring the problem like Obama and trump? Sure.
But he’s literally doing the bare minimum of enforcing programs that have existed for decades, and drastically overpaying meaning for the same dollar amount, more people should be getting loan forgiveness.
It sounds great if you only read headlines tho…
The Republican Supreme Court keeps blocking him.
And if Hillary’s primary campaign hadn’t taken over the DNC, we’d be coming out of Bernie’s second term with the most progressive SC in history.
Making excuses for Biden always just ends up arguing against moderate politicians like Biden. It’s their fault we’re in this shitty situation to begin with
Kinda surprised you didn’t delete this.
Why?
I stand by what I said even tho it’s unpopular:
It’s better than nothing, but nothing to brag about.
And we’re giving the companies that fraudulently refused to process forgiveness the extra illegal interest they’ve been charging.
It only sounds like Biden is accomplishing great things if you don’t know the details and just listen to headlines…
Which is what we give trump supporters shit for.
He’s been trying to do it multiple times since he’s been in office. I’ll let you guess which political party keeps striking it down.
Is it the one who wants to take public school money to make their private schools cheaper?
…to make their private schools cheaper?
Let’s describe this as it really is: they want to take public funds to use for religious indoctrination.
Religious indoctrination of a very specific sort.
Just wait til the madrasas start using public funds… See what happens to them.
Hes going to wait until just before the election so it’s fresh in the goldfish memory of America
You obviously haven’t been paying any attention.
After the court slap down, he was only able to help about 1/5th to 1/6th of the original audience.
That’s a lot of people who could stand to be reminded about what the GOP has blocked and what Harris would continue to push for.
It was slapped down by the court because he was trying to use emergency powers act that did not give him the authority to forgive student debt. And in his opinion, Justice Roberts specified exactly how to go about forgiving student debt. Something that Biden has still yet to do.
Heard that before.
I’ll vote for the D if you get mine forgiven.
