🇺🇸 Ridin’ with Biden: It's Joever

[Boy Scout]

Omicron is surging in the US now, so I don't think they could do it at the moment. Warren got it and I'm worried one of them would get it too.

Hmm, point.

Just cancel part or all of the debt, Joe.

I'm glad the administration seems to have learned from Psaki's gaff about home testing, rather than just leaning harder into the mistake.

Well the big issue is not to create a shortage (like in the U.K.) by buying up the tests and sending them to people who won't use them like anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers who think 5G is in the box.

That's still too close for comfort.

So is this going to be a request system right?

At the very least he should cancel the loan interest altogether.

I posted in the Education thread a tweet that showed someone's $75,000 loan became a $200,000 one with all the interest applied.

That’s nuts. The interest rates on the federal loans are crazy. My highest one is 7%. The others are in the mid 6% range.

Yeah if you can't pay it off fast enough, it'll add up.

I can get a car loan at the local Credit Union for 1.99%. I guess a car is more important than an education. This S*** drives me crazy, but without real educational cost reform, we're just kicking the can down the road.

I have an idea, don't give these thieves the money to begin with. Make education affordable. It's actually a good social investment.

Socialism!



We were so ****ing close to tuition free community college. At least that would open doors for job prospects.

Yeah they say any other Democrat would be in the same crappy position as Biden but I'm pretty sure if Elizabeth Warren or Bernie decriminalized cannabis and forgave student loans their approval rating would be way higher.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Even if you're against blanket student loan forgiveness, what's stopping Biden from cancelling the ridiculously high interest payments?

Seriously.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

The thing is if Biden went on tv and said "I'm decriminalizing cannabis and forgiving student loans. Screw Joe Manchin.".

No one would blame him. In fact his approval ratings would sky rocket.

The fact that he doesn't just shows he doesn't realize how dire the situation is if the democrats can't regain popularity.

Have you paid attention to how many of his executive orders have been cancelled by Trump appointed judges? You must understand that if he were to do any loan forgiveness, even if just interest, some bank would take it to the court and a bank friendly Trump appointee would over rule it. Supreme Court at the latest. You can forget about any student debt help.

Loan forgiveness is given to the Executive branch through the Higher Education Act...

So don't try! That's the answer!

How many of the executive orders haven't been cancelled? How many of Trump's were?

He packed the courts to make sure they weren't in the end.

And someone takes it to the Supreme Court where it would get overturned.
