U.S. President Joe Biden plans to announce on Wednesday that his administration has approved an additional $9 billion in student debt relief for 125,000 borrowers, the White House said.
Biden has said he will pursue new measures to provide student loan relief to Americans after the Supreme Court blocked his plan to cancel hundreds of billions of dollars in debt.
The president’s announcement, planned for 1 p.m. EDT at the White House, will bring the total approved debt cancellation by the Biden administration to $127 billion for nearly 3.6 million Americans, the White House said.
They can’t win because they don’t even play the game correctly. You can’t just get up and give grand speeches about radically different ideas, with little to no strategy or evidence to back it up and expect to jump into literally the most powerful job in the world. It’s utter nonsense. Unless you’re a Billionaire that wants to buy your way in.
You can tell none of the third parties are serious because all their attention goes to the presidency.
They have no consideration for what would happen if they actually won. No representatives in the House, no senators, no state governors even. They’d be lame ducks the instant they were sworn in.
They should be targeting Congressional seats and state governorships. Instead, they’re just grifting money.
Congress spent the last century concentrating power in the executive. I think you’d be surprised what a motivated individual could accomplish.
You’re underestimating Congress. It still plays a lot of roles, especially the Senate. It just isn’t obvious because the president’s party typically has control at the beginning of their terms.
This would probably work for Greens except that they don’t have people running for those positions.
what’s the senate going to do? remove them? not if the senators are jailed on corruption and war crime charges.
You are aware that the Senate must confirm all cabinet positions, right?
the senate is supposed to, but both there is already a precedent for acting secretaries
They might be able to get around it with acting secretaries, fair enough
you vote for me, i make you chief of staff.
