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.
I’m getting really tired of neoliberals cheering for basic mediocrity and acting like it’s murder to criticize Biden. They’re just an extension of the Democratic Party that is entirely unwilling to address the fact that simply not doing bad things doesn’t make you good.
These are not accomplishments. This is not the promise that got me to vote for Biden despite not believing he would be a good president, nor that his primary run was above board. I want a president that actually works to better the lives of the people.
And while we’re at it, I’d like a fair primary without DNC bullshit.
You remember a couple years ago when a WB board member said the reason they bought CNN was to make it more like Faux News to change people’s minds?
These are those people that kept watching CNN and that is why they’re acting like trump supporters.
The wealthy want voters with zero standards except the left by a name. And they’ve bought almost every media outlet to get those types of voters in both parties.
It’s exhausting for sure. And this thread has all their usual rhetoric, complete with confident assumptions that anyone criticizing their king must be a “MAGAt.” It’s just so utterly incomprehensible to them that anyone can exist to their left, even though the US has no left wing parties.
I’ve blocked a lot of them apparently.
It says 30 comments I see maybe 10.
There’s not many, they just love to pile on.
