All I know is that if IDR is killed off, I’ll have to go into bankruptcy as i don’t have enough for groceries for my family as is. I know the likelihood of getting the stident debt is next to impossible, but i might be able to afford that payment if my cc debt is killed off ($40k) but would still have mortgage, car payment, roof loan payment, and my private student loans as well. I’m just pretty much tapped out. Probably worth more dead than alive, though I’m the bread winner.
Election promises mean nothing when they all (ALL OF THEM) are in the pockets of the evil rich
LOL. The absurdity at this rate…
Biden: Hey here’s half a trillion dollars back on student loans, a trillion dollars on climate change, unions and manufacturing jobs, and a bunch of other stuff, all paid for by big increases in corporate tax
USA: Yeah but corporations are still doing bad stuff though
USA: We pick Trump
Biden: Alright fuck you then
this is stuff that never would have made it all the way to implementation anyway; with voters shooting off their own feet last month, and some hand-picked maga judges ruling against the policy.
He’s done what he could with the Republicans fighting him every step of the way. Better to spend this last month doing what he can to Trump-proof stuff.
Okay, so what is he doing to Trump proof stuff?
I read that withdrawing the student loans was actually one of the things. If he hadn’t Trump could have used the years long progress to implement his own policies. Now he would have to restart the process over again to make any changes.
He just appointed a bunch of federal judges this week.
He has also just made a new international climate agreement. It can probably be thrown out but it’s another thing that would cause a delay. Nothing is going to make anything Trump proof since he controls 3 branches of government and is immune to crimes. It’s all stall tactics.
Biden is terrible at marketing the stuff he does. He doesn’t do enough and the things he does actually do just gets pushed through without any press. He also publicly shows no fight when things are blocked so it looks like he never even attempted. Still runs things like an old time senator expecting nonbiased journalists to spread the word for him.
Jaaaaaack
Fucking
Shiiiiiiiiit
Trying to finally send all the money approved by Congress to Ukraine
He pardoned a bunch of rich criminals
Right right. That’s why he needed to start doing things 3.9 years ago instead of screwing around for so long. What a failure. Or a success, depending on your perspective.
And this is why Trump won. Because people like YOU. Just because YOU didn’t pay attention for 4 years, doesn’t mean he sat on his ass doing nothing.
I hope reality hits you like a truck now.
I don’t know what the deal is with pulling this program now (although someone else said it was actually a way to block Trump from doing something worse), but he literally spent all four years trying to get through student loan forgiveness. His major plan was blocked by SCOTUS and he’s been blocked by other judges every step of the way.
And the fact that you don’t know that speaks much more about you than it does about him.
I have no love for Biden. I keep saying I hate that he’s been one of the best presidents of my nearly 50-year lifetime because that just shows the low the bar is. But he still did clear that bar on occasion and trying to do student loan forgiveness is one of them.
He can’t just make commands from on high and they get implemented, no questions asked. As Paddzr suggested, this is part of the reason why Trump won. People think the president is a dictator, which is why they elected a man promising to be a dictator.
ugh i wish
I’m so sick of our financial wellbeing being a pawn for these political asshats to play with…
My loan repayment period was supposed to end in June of this year as part of the service workers repayment plan. I wasn’t even on the SAVE plan and my account has been put into some sort of weird limbo because of all this stupid garbage. My servicer won’t even touch my account. They just keep extending the forbearance on it every time a new judge steps in.
Now Trump’s gonna step in yet again and fuck us all even more…
I mean… The country spoke… So why bother.
The tiny majority of voters. Not the country. Close? Not really.
All those eligible voters who didn’t bother to vote at all who make up the rest of the country spoke too. They said they didn’t give a shit.
So again, seems like a “why bother?” situation.
That’s a great argument until you realize the rest of the country (the part that didn’t speak) literally couldn’t decide which is worse or just didn’t care. So they did speak, and what they said was “hwbennfswbebnsjdjbdbshdukabw”.
Rules were unfinished - they were trying to rewrite a second version after Republicans kept blocking it in court. The unfinished rules already had republicans threatening to sue about it. Presumably ran out of time to complete it
He’s still looking at other more narrow areas that are less able for Republicans to make BS challenges on
Biden is still pursuing other avenues for debt relief before his term is up. On Friday, his administration announced an additional $4.28 billion in debt relief for 54,900 borrowers in Public Service Loan Forgiveness — a result of ongoing improvements to the program. Despite not being able to pass broad relief, Biden, over the course of his term, has provided relief to nearly 5 million borrowers through changes to various programs.
Trump said he was going to reinstate all the debt anyway.
Do you have a source for that? I’m not sure how one would even go about bringing debt back that has been effectively erased.
You can’t, but that never stopped Trump from saying shit like this. “Mexico will pay for the wall”
I don’t have a source but that is about as Trump as Trump can get.
They didnt vote for him why would he do anything to help. Hes just as spiteful as trump lol.
They didnt vote for him
I know, right? I keep trying to find someone who voted for Joe Biden in November and I haven’t found a single person!
Crazy that hey there has to be at least one around here somewhere.
