Biden is withdrawing his broader student-loan-forgiveness plans that were set to cancel debt for over 38 million borrowers - Lemmy.World

The withdrawal notices were for two of the department’s unfinished debt-relief rules. The first rule was Biden’s Plan B for broader debt relief after the Supreme Court struck his first plan down in summer 2023. The second rule was a proposal to provide relief to borrowers facing financial hardship.

Unfinished and proposal.

Yeah, Biden’s team never wanted to do any of this and never put any real effort into making it happen so now we’re hear. In any sane world this implosion (along with the FAFSA disaster and a million other things) would be the end of the conversation about why younger voters haven’t been supporting Dems at the rate we need, but I’m sure some jackass on MSNBC will say something fucking idiotic and insulting about misinformation on tiktok or something anyway.

Passed student debt relief. You: “He didn’t want to do it!!!”

Blocked by court. You: “see he didn’t want to do it!!!”

Passes new bill and works on other ways to do it. You: “see he never wanted to do it!! No real effort!!”

Unbelievable.

Biden does weakest method to do debt relief, then ignores it once courts block it

see he wanted to! - - dems not understanding why people don’t want more right wing dems in the party

Yeah, what’s really frustrating is that I’m sure a lot of Biden supporters honestly understand how much of a complete and total failure his administration was (because like how could you not), but they will gaslight insult and alienate everyone and let the whole fucking country burn to the ground before they ever once admit it
Well yeah if you did it before the election (hell even before the primary) you were just a dirty trump supporter. Then it was you couldn’t do it because it would hurt Kamala even though the entire point she replaced him was because of how poorly he was doing.
