Record numbers of unemployed

Record numbers of homeless

Record high student loan debt

Housing market is fucked

Infrastructure is fucked

None of those plans have done a god-damned thing aside from making people like you pull a

It’s honestly sad how accustomed American liberals are to the idea that the government shouldn’t be expected to do anything to tangibly improve people’s lives.

People who can’t feed their kids now need to wait for an investment to pay divided and to want to feed their children right now is just being delusional. Government shouldn’t invest, it should fucking govern and should be replaced when it’s eating shit at doing so.

Today’s announcement brings the total approved debt cancellation by the Biden-Harris Administration to nearly $132 billion for more than 3.6 million Americans.

$132 billion in approved debt cancellation out of a total of $1.7 trillion, and that paltry percentage is planned to be cancelled if people subscribe to the right repayment plans and have no meaningful changes in income (“Sorry bud, you gotta keep working retail for your entire adult life because otherwise your monthly expenses go up by a thousand dollars!”) over the next 40 years. And that’s assuming the entire plan doesn’t get scrapped by the next administration, which it almost certainly will be.

It cannot be overstated how absolutely, completely fucking useless this plan is. It makes the ACA look like the New Deal by comparison. It’s like King Louis XVI walking out to a horde of starving peasants and saying he totally addressed food prices by handing out two dozen loaves of bread every three months.

Great, so can you explain how any of those things materially help people continue to pay rent, healthcare, student loans (I can’t wait to hear how you think that the student debt relief somehow actually did anything material for student debt relief), buy groceries, etc? I’d love to hear you explain how that fancy list of hilariously named things actually accomplished anything.

Do you struggle with reading comprehension? Or did you just not actually read anything?

I don’t struggle with reading comprehension, no. In fact, I can read my student loan repayment plan, I can read the bill I still get every month, I can read the check I still have to send out every month, and I can see that the number hasn’t changed substantially during Biden’s term except for the payments I’ve made and am still making and will be making for decades to come. I’d send you a picture of the bill I get every month but it’s not written in crayon so it would probably be difficult for you

3.6 million Americans is 1% of the population lol

He helped 1% of the population out with an average of 35k loans with the BIG if of all the technicalities others have stated. Not even the most vulnerable either because these are the college educated

I was going to vote for Biden but now I won’t because you acted with such brutal incivility. This is the most important election of our lives; democracy itself is on the ballot and you are turning people away from the polls before they’ve even opened. You are handing Trump the keys to the White House; you are ushering in the dark tide of fascism. Enjoy the next election, you have made it our last.

Gonna go ahead and say the people who figured out $130 billion isn’t the same as 1.3 trillion aren’t the ones with the reading comprehension problem.

Also mandatory “liberals try to convince you to vote for Biden without directly insulting you challenge, impossible”
