The Biden administration announced Wednesday that it would forgive an additional $4.8 billion in student loan debt, for 80,300 borrowers.

The relief is a result of the U.S. Department of Education’s fixes to its income-driven repayment plans and Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.

“Before President Biden took office, it was virtually impossible for eligible borrowers to access the student debt relief they rightfully earned,” U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said in a statement. “This level of debt relief is unparalleled and we have no intention of slowing down.”

    It’s socialism! And socialism is bad, in case we weren’t clear on that. Under socialism, healthcare doesn’t work, infrastructure crumbles, power and money is concentrated among a few oligarchs, people can’t afford to pay for rent or food, crime and corruption is rampant, police systematically abuse their powers, the courts are overwhelmed, prisons are overcrowded, there’s violence in the streets, and you don’t have any real voice and your vote doesn’t matter.

    How would you like living under THOSE conditions, huh? Exactly. Vote R!
