Federal student loan borrowers can expect “the most affordable student loan plan ever”, Biden said in a video address on Tuesday announcing significant changes to the debt from higher education held by over an eighth of the country.

      This always baffles me. I hear people say “I’m never voting for a Democrat again! They couldn’t get student loan forgiveness done!!”

      You think Republicans will get student loan forgiveness done? You think not voting will get student loan forgiveness done? Think again.

      Biden and Democrats are doing everything they possible can in a hostile environment where Republicans sue as soon as any forgiveness is on the horizon. And Trump’s SCOTUS is there to help Republicans in that effort.

      Elections have consequences! Vote!

      No, he didn’t. He tried the motions. The President does not have to collect on a debt or collect a tax without Congress forcing it. Which Congress can’t practically do.
