    Mine will likely never be eliminated unless it all goes away because I make too much, and that’s totally fine by me. I want as many people to get relief as possible! Public colleges and universities should be free, and student debt should not be a thing. At least not the way it is now.

    He’s also wiping out tens of thousands of women and children in Palestine.

    I am all for it. Just wish it didn’t take a genocide for his numbers to dip far enough to need the PR boost

      The “genocide” blame is bullshit, mostly from trolls and the deliberately uninformed. Biden has been all over Israel from the start to not react “over the top”.

        Biden has definitely been all over israel, as in all over kissing their ass for his entire career.

    I definitely sympathize with people in college debt, but this feels like just temporary wins and doesn’t address the real problems. This won’t solve the overpriced cost of education. Forgive debt now, a new crop of students will just go into debt next, right?

    We need universities to be completely free, universal single payer health care, drastically cheaper housing to rent and own, etc.

    Good. Keep taking advantage of those loopholes.

    Clearly Biden has an infinite money supply and could go around Congress at any moment. Why doesn’t he just pay for all of it?

        Why is this college tuition money so hard for Biden to obtain when he is currently going over the head of a different branch of government to get large amounts of money. What’s stopping him in this specific case? What works in the other case?

          Not sure what you’re getting at. when did he go outside of the legislative branch to get money?
