They Waiting to See How Bad Those Mid Term Poll Numbers Are Looking to Try and Save Themselves From Getting Washed and Impeached
Just cancel it already.
That's what they're SUPPOSED to be doing, though!
Shit, the real progressives on this issue are pressuring Biden to release the info on what he can do for student loans via executive order. He has been sitting on that info since April 2021.
I don't think folks get all the big money tied to these loans.
Even if damning info comes out that he can do something but won't, I don't think it will affect mid-terms. Media will run cover and they going to milk theeeee absolute fuck out of that January 6th shit until mid-terms. Plus, Americans are known for jealousy of the little guy next to them. Those who paid for college or didn't go just don't feel this is a big issue. Fuck questioning why this bullshit is so expensive to begin with and who is profiting.
Someone on the news had audacity to say they fear inflation might go up if they start canceling loans!Shit, the real progressives on this issue are pressuring Biden to release the info on what he can do for student loans via executive order. He has been sitting on that info since April 2021.

If my loans don't get forgiven after all this teasing I swear I'll go full Ben Carson on these bastards 
But but but but JIM CROW JOE!!!! KAMALA ISNT BLACK!!!
Nah, if he doesn't follow through I'm going to spend a month of student loan payments on Jim Crow Joe and Sleepy Joe bumper stickers, flags, t-shirts, hoodies, pin buttons, vanity license plates, hats, etc.
Should be interesting. I wonder if he tries to go through congress so he can blame it failing on Joe Grizzly and tell people if they want it come out and vote in mid-terms.
He been sitting on the EO for over year now. Ain't that much research son.
If they make it happen, this move may just win the midterms for Dems....
Pretty much.
It would be suicide for the Democrats going into the mid-terms.
If he doesn't I'd be convinced that Biden turned heel and joined the GOP like when Hulk Hogan joined the NWO lol
Huh? Is he only forgiving black people student loans specifically?
I think this is a good thing he is doing but it's helps every race, which is fine but your sarcastic comment seemed like you are trying to say he did it for us.
Smfh
Doesn't matter who benefits since student loan debt disproportionately negatively affects (like everything else) African American graduates (particularly black woman) compared to other groups (especially white people.)
It wouldn't be anywhere near reparations but that doesn't mean its nothing.
These Niggas and their mental gymnastics. But but but it’s not labeled Black Only Loan elimination!!!!!
I agree with that but I was reacting to what Truth said about Jim Crow Joe and Kamala not being black. Like this is supposed to make them team black now.
When they call themselves doing stuff for black people it's always lumped in a bag with everybody else. They never do anything specifically for us like the do other groups.
Also most black people won't even benefit from this because they don't have school debt.
No it won't......
you aint the only one homie..trust
then most black people in that regard should count their blessings.
but the DISPROPORTIONATE number of black people affected WILL benefit and that should mean something.
Exactly.
you aint the only one homie..trust
Off the strength of the for profit schools mostly targeting single mother homes and making a killing then seeking proper accedidation to no longer be labled a scam aka Keiser University.
all that shits a scam dude even the major colleges...how many people are using their degrees??? how many are working in the field they studied for?? What kind of society says lets encorage young people to get a higher education BUT burden them with crippling debt for doing it just as their starting their life!....ONLY in a pure capitalist we eat our young society is that even considered a good idea...
You already know that’s the plan. They can’t afford to forgive it and if they do, the inflation rates will double overnight. Unfortunately for him, he has to do it now or they are going to get slaughtered in November.Should be interesting. I wonder if he tries to go through congress so he can blame it failing on Joe Grizzly and tell people if they want it come out and vote in mid-terms.
Why didn't the Internment Japanese American just "count their blessings" when Ronald Reagan gave them all $20k and signed a bill into law to apologize?
Only Japanese got 20k. Not white, black, mexican etc.
Why didn't the Aleuts from Attu just "count their blessings" when America displaced them? No they got a check and only them.
Why didn't the Holocaust Survivors just "count their blessings" when Obama and Biden approved cutting them a check?
Even policy wise the LGBTQ community has gotten more than us in a much smaller time frame.
We are the only ones that are expected to just take the scraps they give us and "count our blessings".
WTF are you talking about???
the count your blessings aspect was about incurring ADDITIONAL burdensome (in some cases crippling) debt doing what EVERYONE tells you should do. GO TO SCHOOL! GET A DEGREE! BLAH BLAH BLAH... what they never say is NONE Of that shit is guaranteed EXCEPT those loans your signing up for!
That shit will follow you for the rest of your life like financial herpes. So for the black people who DIDN'T get caught up in that mess...BE GLAD... if nothing else its one LESS thing you have to deal with. Thats all I'm saying.
That has absolutely nothing on anything your ranting about. Student Loan forgiveness AND reparations can be done too...its not either/or...jesus

Thune, GOP senators push bill to ban Biden from canceling student debt, as president mulls 'executive action'

FIRST ON FOX – Senate Minority Whip John Thune and a group of GOP senators are introducing a bill to ban President Biden from canceling student loan debt, amid news Biden is considering doing just that.
The bill would also limit how long the administration can pause student debt payments and add congressional oversight to the process. People with income above 400% the poverty line would be exempt from any pause.
"As Americans continue to return to the workforce more than two years since the pandemic began, it is time for borrowers to resume repayment of student debt obligation," Thune, R-S.D., said in a statement. "Taxpayers and working families should not be responsible for continuing to bear the costs associated with this suspension of repayment."
Thune added: "This common-sense legislation would protect taxpayers and prevent President Biden from suspending federal student loan repayments in perpetuity."
Federal student loan payments were first paused in May 2020 under former President Donald Trump. But as the economy exited the pandemic, Biden extended that pause multiple times after taking office, to criticism from Republicans.
Progressives, meanwhile, are pushing Biden to completely forgive student loan debt via executive order. They say the crushing debt hanging over many college graduates’ heads is forcing them to delay major life decisions, and that student debt disproportionately affects minorities.
Even top Democrats in Congress are pushing for Biden to cancel student debt.
"I won’t stop working for President Biden to use his existing legal authority to #CancelStudentDebt," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., tweeted last week.
It was reported this week that Biden told members of Congress he’s currently looking at options for how to make that happen with executive action. And White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday that’s on the table.
"He will make a decision before there's an end to that pause. Right now, it's been extended through August and we have talked about how we are looking at and he is looking at other executive authority options," Psaki said.
Thune is joined by Sens. Bill Cassidy, R-La., Richard Burr, R-N.C., Mike Braun, R-Ind., and Roger Marshall, R-Kan., in introducing the bill.
Republicans say a continued pause on payments, or canceling student debt altogether, represents a bailout to high-income earners at a time when jobs abound. They also say the pause is fiscally irresponsible and subverts the will of Congress.
"The Biden administration continues to call for a return to normalcy from the pandemic, while simultaneously extending emergency relief programs like the student loan repayment freeze," Burr said. "They can’t have it both ways. Resuming student loan repayments is long overdue, especially in today’s strong job market."
"The majority of Americans do not have college degrees," Braun added. "Why should they be forced to pick up the tab for college degrees in the name of pandemic relief? This transfer of wealth is not a move to ‘advance equity,’ but rather a taxpayer handout to appease far-left activists."
"The administration is spending without congressional approval," Cassidy said. "That should be considered unconstitutional."
The legislation is likely more a messaging bill than anything. It’s highly unlikely enough Democrats in the House or Senate would support it to pass it to Biden’s desk. And it’s even more far-fetched that Biden would sign it.
But it represents Republicans starting to dig their heels in on an issue that could develop into a major flashpoint in the midterms, as the current pause expires two months before the election.
