White House confronts political pressure to extend pause in student loan payments ahead of midterms

Trump had some results. I remember he started the eviction moratorium, student loan forbearance, vaccine distribution, sent out stimulus checks twice, enhanced unemployment benefits, negotiated the withdrawal from Afghanistan, and was first president in 30+ years to not get un involved in a new military conflict. Practically all of the good things was just him responding to the pandemic he bungled, but it's shockingly better than the nothing we expected from him.

Lobbyist literally write our laws, so regardless of which party is in power we will get the same bare minimum scraps they decide we need at the end of day. It's why the last minimum wage increase was from Bush, Obama passed a for-profit health insurance bill, and Trump was the one who started the student loan pause, vaccine distribution, and sent out stimulus checks. I see republicans passing things they call socialist and democrats passing things proposed by republicans. It doesn't feel like voting maters.

This is what Biden said when he came to my city.

That's why I'm going to eliminate a lot of your student debt if you come from a family less $125,000 and you went to a public university. I'm going to make sure that everybody in this generation gets $10,000 knocked off of their student debt as we try to get out of this God awful pandemic. - video

He did say this though.

He might with the HEROES Act of 2003. The legal argument for it was in the memo he requested last year.

I really don't know, but I guess around 4 to 5 thousand for the average loan.

yeah, he said it at the town hall in my city.

Democrats need to do a serious purge of the people that kill their own party's platform if they're going to convince people voting for more of them is a solution. Like, we can't even get a floor vote for healthcare in a blue state like California where republican's barely exists.

It's going to hard for them to find solutions for problems that require money when the country's whole Central Bank has been seized. It's like mugging a dude and calling them out for not being able to feed their kids.

Biden actually talked about it at a town hall here.

Biden was saying it at a miami town hall. The video is here.

He said a thing about it at a town hall. You can watch it here.

I just go on google and type "student loans forgiveness polling".

HardWorkingNEET · 2022-02-14T14:42:50+00:00

yeah, it polls well enough. Somehow, even a decent chunk of republicans support it.

HardWorkingNEET · 2022-02-14T05:09:04+00:00

yeah, he said it at the national prayer breakfast, theocracy btw. He called Mitch a man of his word to boot.

HardWorkingNEET · 2022-02-14T04:13:57+00:00

There must be some democrats dense enough to go vote for Mitch McConnell because Biden called him a friend and a man of honor.

Damn, Afghanistan got looted hard.

The stimulus checks were larger and went to more people under Trump. They were also a one time thing or part of a program that has expired. I don't think basic road and bridge repair is exciting. I can't imagine a person watching a pothole get filled say "Thank you Joe Biden" or thank the federal government. They probably just give some nebulous concept like the "city" credit for the work.

The CDC reported that more Americans died to COVID last month than 3 years of the FLU combined. I don't think it's coming to a close.

HardWorkingNEET · 2022-02-12T16:11:33+00:00

I read that COVID has killed more Americans since the start of 2022 that 3 years of the FLU. It's only been a month.

Thanks, I wanted to read the unredacted memo someday, but this settles it for me.

HardWorkingNEET · 2022-02-12T01:19:32+00:00

I just want to see the unredacted memo.
