Well at least he’s stocking to his guns on this so far

Trying to waive the balances on student loans via executive action was a fool’s gambit. It was destined to fail. Even Elizabeth Warren said Biden couldn’t do it before she changed her tune. He’s trying to abuse the HEROES act 22 years post 9/11 for a clearly unintended purpose.

A congressional act was the way to get this done from the beginning. The Democrats will just have to find a way to get Manchin, Sinema, and +1 on board without losing anyone like AOC or Talib by watering it down.

Good move from Biden here.

I think it’s time to try a new tactic. Since clearly this court is only interested in hearing cases and issuing rulings for Christian evangelicals, someone needs to bring a suit arguing that their religious liberties were violated when they were forced to take a loan with interest to pay for education. Usury is a sin, both the old and new testaments speak against it, Luke writes that lenders should give with no expectation of profit or return. Paying back this loan would violate closely held religious beliefs, clearly.

Trying to eliminate that much student loan debt using an executive order was such a fool's errand doomed for failure I doubt it was ever done in good faith. It's easy to do something you know won't fly and then say "hey, I tried!"

Want to give the middle class of America a break? Cut their taxes. Eliminate them entirely. Will you have to cut spending to avoid snowballing debt? Yes, probably, but at least that will actually work.

Got to buy those votes some how.
