It’s okay, we understand you couldn’t get into college to go into debt in the first place.
Great job setting up your strawman, how would you like to position him next?
Good. Keep taking advantage of those loopholes.
I don’t know how many times exactly the Republicans have tried to repeal Obamacare but it’s at least 70, so yeah I have no problem with Biden hammering on this issue for as long as it takes to get it done.
If Democrats were as persistent in pursuing the policies they claim they support as Biden has been about this issue (and only this issue), we would have a living wage nationwide and universal healthcare.
Democrats are not a monolith. They are a mix of progressives, liberals, and common sense conservatives.
The party holds socialists as well, although you guys do treat us more as hostages sometimes, lol.
Their results indicate that they are sufficiently monolithic that my comment holds true.
If it was a monolith, we’d have abortion rights federally and a livable minimum wage. Conservative Democrats have blocked a lot of that shit over the last 30 years. Not to mention that we’d have a much more progressive inflation reduction act. And do you not remember the whole Obama care fiasco?
I’m sorry you don’t actually pay attention to politics. But maybe you should educate yourself instead of just getting angry at headlines.
Saw a comment elsewhere on kbin saying he didn’t care/doesn’t want to do this and that anyone who believes it is brainwashed.
Biden’s already eliminated a ton of it. I’m glad to see he’s still going on this despite the Supreme Court ruling, and I don’t even have student loans.
I have a good job and paid mine off already and I’d still vote like hell to get other’s forgiven.
I’m not American and have no student loans and even I’m glad he’s doing it. There might be a common stereotype internationally that Americans are fat lazy assholes, but to tell you the truth, the Americans I know or have met have been the absolute nicest people I know. The ones I work with regularly are also crazy hard workers. There’s a lot of potential for good in the US, but oppressive economic systems get in the way for a lot of people and it’s just heartbreaking to see.
I myself would love to live in the US, I’d live a very comfortable life as a software engineer, but I just couldn’t do it to my future children (there’s one well on the way) - the knowledge that they might have to go into debt for medical or education reasons is just too much for me. And while I have a good career, I’ll probably never be truly financially independent to the point I could just handle any unexpected expense regardless of magnitude.
Don’t think of it as either-or. I doubt I will ever retire but if I do it won’t be in the States. I hope my kids go to higher ed and if that happens I am most likely going to push them to go to Germany for it. I have to get dental surgery so the next time I am abroad is when I am going to get it done.
He never stopped. As soon as the SC struck the original plan down he started the longer process. It’s been in motion the whole time.
