Former senior White House adviser Cedric Richmond on Sunday dismissed criticism that the Biden administration’s move to cancel some student loan debt is unfair, saying that “everything doesn’t benefit everybody” reiterating that the plan will help the country’s working class.
“Remember, everything doesn’t benefit everybody, but it’s about the common good, and this president is focused on working families and empowering people to reach their full potential, and I think that this does exactly what he’s trying to do,” Richmond said on “Fox News Sunday.”
The Biden administration announced last week it’s forgiving up to $10,000 in federal student loan debt for Americans earning less than $125,000 a year and up to $20,000 in federal student loan debt for Pell Grant recipients. It also extended a pandemic-era freeze on federal student loan repayment and interest accrual until Dec. 31 for what it said was the final time.
Richmond served in the Biden administration as director of the Office of Public Engagement and is now an adviser to the Democratic National Committee.
“This country is not a zero-sum game where somebody has to fail for others to succeed, and so we have historic tax credits, we have business tax credits to help those who own businesses, and not everyone in America owns a business, but we help business owners because we want to promote it,” Richmond said Sunday.
“We’re not picking winners and losers. America is a country about the common good, and what we’re doing here is making sure that we invest in all of America, and right now we are investing in working families.”
The former Louisiana congressman rejected a suggestion by anchor Jennifer Griffin that the plan is an “election gimmick” by Biden ahead of this year’s midterms.

Of course, FRiend. But nobody who exploits class warfare to buy votes will acknowledge that. Bastards.
END THE H-1B VISA.
That is real help.
Rookie 20 year old IRS agent: I get so nervous. I'm not sure I can face the stress of confronting the Deplorables to grab their wealth.
Seasoned Pro: "Just keep your index finger on the trigger all the time. It's sort of like a video game controller or a remote. You see the Deplorable family, you squeeze and it goes off automatically. You'll learn they don't count. They have no value to us."
“...it’s about the common good...”
Said the Socialist.
*SPIT*
These people are fooling NO ONE on our side...and few on their side!
Hurry, 2022 Mid-Terms! Bring the Butthurt Salve because the ‘Rats are gonna need it!

always giving. never receiving.
gets pretty freakin old after a while.
Just leaving me alone would be sufficient, NO, they won’t.
No authority to do this....
been saying that since oct 2000, when they passed that crap @ 7pm in the evening
of course, after 20+ years, they’ve on-shored those to be trained and shipped them home. now they can do it remotely without having to come to the US.
the IT sector will never recover from what the clintons and the dems have done.

I think everyone needs to subtract all the student loan payments they made from any taxes owed.
Appropriations intended to fund army service can be valid for no more than two years.
The 2003 law can’t provide the funding.
Vote buying is one of the illegal ways you came to power, Joe.
I asked on this site that Biden be arrested for violating Florida law prohibiting vote buying before he took office.
He might still be President, but he’d be in a Florida Department of Corrections facility.
No. They’d cut their own throats.
Nope, incorrect. "Common good" has been redefined by the Xiden Administration to mean their common good!
Hey Cedric. Shove it Skippy. Common good my ass. Boy.
The plan is not Marxist, since it is not need-based, nor does it require contribution according to ability.
The Biden plan is 100% vote buying.
Joe, unless you drop dead in office, a prison cell should be in store.
FWIW I don’t think Marxism was ever about Marxism.
“Common good” along with “greater good” is nothing but a term used by communists to guilt or shame someone into doing something that will benefit someone else but be to your detriment.
Turd Waller made it abundantly clear that he had the F-35’s...
That sounded authoritarian to me...
And he keeps pointing his finger like he’s shooting a gun at people, and he likes poking fingers in people’s chests, he likes making shotgun analogies, and waving around an invisible shotgun, he wears Gaddafi sunglasses. Needs the beret.
Yet that is exactly how the Left views this country
If you're rich it's because you made someone poor. You took advantage of someone.
