Hes going to wait until just before the election so it's fresh in the goldfish memory of America
You obviously haven't been paying any attention.
Nah, they're just proving their own point. They have goldfish memory and can't remember far enough back to recall the prior loan forgiveness efforts.
You’d be amazed how many people consider student loan forgiveness still a “failed campaign promise.“
Almost as if there’s a coordinated effort up to and including this headline
I remember getting a letter in the mail that said I would get 10 thousand Biden bucks applied toward my federal student loans. Never got it. I understand it was bad faith conservative groups that sued to stop it from happening, but for me, it is a failed promise. I have the paperwork.
Demonstrating a goldfish memory by acting like one… “behold how ignorant I am!”
After the court slap down, he was only able to help about 1/5th to 1/6th of the original audience.
That’s a lot of people who could stand to be reminded about what the GOP has blocked and what Harris would continue to push for.
Yep. That's the point I was making. You do something like this right up to the election so you can push out last-minute ads to remind the public what the democrats have done and what was taken away by the Republicans.
It was slapped down by the court because he was trying to use emergency powers act that did not give him the authority to forgive student debt. And in his opinion, Justice Roberts specified exactly how to go about forgiving student debt. Something that Biden has still yet to do.
The court did NOT give Biden a way to enact loan forgiveness through executive action alone.
The court said congress must pass a law. And there is too much opposition to loan forgiveness in congress. Even if the proposed legislation finally got through the senate, the GOP house would block it.
No I have and I know all the republican AGs and republican SCOTUS blocked him at every turn.
But I also know as an american how quickly we forget things because of our news cycle and him announcing this in October keeps it fresh in people's minds
So he's gonna... remind people of his committment to a campaign promise that he's actually been working on for most of his presidency?
Ya, that's kind of how campaigning is supposed to work.
Hes forgiving 169 billion already, which is roughly 40% of the 400 billion that supreme court blocked. It's drastically more than any other admin has ever forgiven.
He already succeeded in forgiving student loans. Hes now attempting to forgive even more of them right before election to yes, keep the issue in peoples minds.
