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.

    The only MAGAs in this thread are the “Blue MAGAs” trying to gaslight us into thinking that merely administering the existing law is some heroic act and not a goddamn baseline expectation.

    And that’s saying a lot, because I fucking hate the “Blue MAGA” accusations. I’ve always considered it dishonest ‘both-sides’-ism, not a real thing.

    But nope! This thread, right now, has finally proven to me that it is indeed real. You have managed to sink to that level. So congratulations, I guess, for extinguishing the last shred of faith I had in liberals. That’s what your bad faith bullshit has accomplished. I hope you’re happy.

        No, that comment was just the last straw.

        Weird, dishonest fanboyism for liberal politicians.
