If the dude wants to overwrite things from the past, using his powers of the present, I say good.
Actions are worth more than words though, so time to start making changes
Biden definitely doesn’t want people juding him on actions.
From day one he could have done all the student debt relief via executive order. Yes it was debateable among scholars, but plenty of laywers and academics believed it consitutional.
Worst case scenario it would have spent ages in the courts, meanwhile the reprecussions from countering the executive order would have snowballed to where it would have been nearly impossible to unwind it.
Trump and Bush have showed the Dems the new norm over and over. You do what you want, worst case it spends years in court while staying in effect, THEN if you lose in court, you do the same thing but so slightly differently that the effect is the same and you start another cycle of years and years of living with it.
This was an easy and clear strategy to deal with the student loan crisis. But again, as an architect of preventing students from discharging loan debt via bankruptcy—his actions speak loud and clear (just like you said).
And I’m fine if people learn from their mistakes. But when they seek to rewrite or burry history that’s not learning from their mistakes. Nor is catastrophcially crashing in the polls and needing the younger voters so suddenly this is a priority.
