    He’s wiped student loan debt for around 4.75 million people. Sounds like a lot but then you realize there’s 45,000,000 with student loan debt and $1,750,000,000,000 total student loan debt.

      He didn’t wipe the debt out, he just stopped fighting in the courts over an existing loan forgiveness program that Betsy DeVos had decided to fuck with during Trump’s first term. And the bulk of this loan forgiveness came as part of a deal that required 10 years of employment in a public sector career. Fucking with it meant undermining recruitment efforts by the Pentagon, the FBI, etc.

      Biden is trying to take credit for a Clinton Era Program, not unilaterally writing off billions in debt.

      Even setting aside the fact that $7B isn’t even a percentage point on outstanding debt, this is purely headline gore and has little to do with Biden’s domestic policies.

      what’s your goddamn point?? Take that shit up with the fascist Rs, how are you holding that against Biden “oh it’s not actually that much” jesus christ.

      Are you seriously holding the chaotic anti-progress bullshit brought by the traitorous do-nothing Rs against Biden???

        When will Dems stop blaming Republicans for all their shortcomings and “it’s too hard” excuses and actually fight back? Republicans get almost anything they want.
