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

He literally wrote new bills to get around the court block.

Not really but keep saying that.

He was also more than happy to start payments back up as a compromise with gop that also got nothing in return.

But yeah he totally was doing it

Keep going through mental gymnastics to say but but but Biden bad.
Yes following the laws that should have already discharged that debt big win for him…

What are you even saying? Do you mean that as two sentences?

Iirc the problem the court found was the relief was too broad, they said it had to be based on more individual criteria. So he wrote more bills doing exactly that. So it’s not “following the [same] law”.

The debts he’s actually discharged are from laws that have been on the books for years.

Again he’s done any of the stronger methods since only trying the heros act powers.

I think I’m out, you are willfully ignoring things just to say but but but but but but but Biden bad.

Amazing how that’s always the response when shit like this is pointed out.

If you keep getting these responses after you willfully ignore information, yeah you should take a look in the mirror and do some reflection. Why do I bother, ciao.
Pointing out what has and hasn’t been done is ignoring information now?
