And to all decent people who dutifully paid off their own student loans at great sacrifice, the heck with you!

No refunds to those who saved their money and paid their loans.
And if you didn’t go to college because you couldn’t afford to You will now pay for the wealthy students handout. I believe it’s been said this will cost taxpayers $2,000 out of their own pocket.

This is why we wanted to repeal Obamacare (because Obamacare encompassed student loans moving them from banks to the government).

But John McCain and Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski didn’t want that.

Thanks so much, a$$holes!

All Biden is doing is looking for votes, and he's willing to bankrupt the country in the process...

Yeah, but this will only be attractive to left-wingers who will already vote for him. It definitely won't get grass roots republicans to change their minds.

Ditto for those 'precious' independent voters (if there are any remaining).

MAGA voters who have kids with student debt are not going to be swayed by this at all. They'll be glad for the relief, but no way are they going to pull the lever for a Rat because of this one issue.

Biden speaks of this as if it’s His money he’s handing out. “keeping my promise” as he said. But I don’t recall any taxpayer committed to paying anything on other students debts.

Don’t gripe about this one, if you didn’t gripe about the rest of them.
It’s what Goobermint does all the time.
Special treatment for one group to get their votes.

SS COLAs?
SALT, Mortgage Interest Deductions?
Special tax treatment for 401K, FSA, Roth?
Mohair Subsidy made infamous by millonaire Sam Donaldson?

The list is endless, and it’s all the same thing.

Some pay, but the favored group doesn’t.

Burn it all down

People who paid off their student debt or never borrowed money for schooling need to file a lawsuit.

Sounds to me the decent thing would be to include all those who took loans in the corrupt system.

I think I deserve what I’m owed. This is discrimination.

This is going to hurt the economy more. Those individuals who made hard choices and/or made good on their loans once again have to clean up for people who didn’t.

Wont be long until the government runs out of other peoples money.

Makes my blood boil.

And I hope you're mad at the people who made all of this possible -- the RINOs.

RINO-controlled state legislatures handed the 2020 Steal on a platter to the Rats. And RINO traitors in the Federal government colluded with the Rats.

I was pleased to see many of them ousted in the summer primaries, but it's going to take more than one cycle to rid us of these traitors. Eye Patch McCain (i.e. Liz Crenshaw) is one that should have been primaried by a Trump-endorsed challenger but wasn't.

Does the recipient have to pay taxes on the $10,000 or will they call it a gift?

Does the borrower have to make less than 125k or the household make less than that? If your spouse makes a million every year do you still get this handout?

Does the president have the power to nullify millions of contracts?

This will greatly encourage people to go after frivolous and useless degrees, like womens studies, racial relation studies, etc. Which WE will then have to pay for. And the subsequent welfare when the idiots who wasted their shot at college on these frivolous degrees can't get a decent-paying job. Another way for the libtards to foment unrest so they can do their commie switcherooie. Biden & Co. = EVIL.

Since when have either the Democrats or the Republicans cared about the national debt soaring?

How do they 'FORGIVE' a pell grant? It's not a loan, it pays tuition and gives students cash for living. To my knowledge it's never repaid or considered a loan, but a Grant.

From the article They never have to be repaid; they are simply a payment from the government directly to you for your tuition.

Grants & loans

So how is Bidet lumping Pell Grant payments into his big plan? Is that the big guys 10%?

Double if you had a Pell Grant?
A quick search shows blacks (13% of the population) get 72% of Pell Grants.

Democrats reward criminals by allowing ‘no bail’.

Democrats reward the irresponsible by paying of their college debt with ‘other people’s money.

Democrats reward climate alarmists with subsidized electric cars when the electric grid can’t support them.

Democrats reward thieves by making theft a misdemeanor if what they steal is under a thousand dollars.

Democrats reward Cartels by giving free phones AND free monthly phone service to illegals cartels usher across OUR borders.

I don’t think it will help the “middle class” as I think the middle class has about gone away because of what the stinking Sodom on the Potomac has caused to everyone’s checking account.
