“Never been used” doesn’t mean “cannot be used” It doesn’t take a law degree to understand the plain text of the legislation.

21.02.2024 17:32 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Because Biden used the HEROES Act as his legal justification, when every expert noted that the Higher Education Act is a much stronger law.
The Higher Education Act (HEA) 1965 gives the Secretary of Education the authority to “compromise” or “modify, waive, or release” student debt obligations.
Great. Now just 85% more borrowers to go. Can/will Democrats do it before election day?

Are you too fucking stupid to read what I posted? I’m NOT talking about the HEROES Act, I specifically cited the Higher Education Act. SCOTUS never ruled on HEA.
Embarrassing to accuse me of lying just because you can’t fathom for a second, that maybe the people in charge weren’t doing everything possible for regular people.

“The Higher Education Act (HEA), which was first enacted in 1965 gives the Secretary of Education the authority to “compromise” or “modify, waive, or release” student debt obligations.
Very good, assuming that progress continues.
Assuming Biden gets more bold with his forgiveness, (there are only so many special categories you can put ppl into.)
Also assuming Biden’s popular enough to win another four years.
Also assuming the next GOP Pres won’t just halt all of the SAVE plans.
Oh okay my apologies, so 13.95%, better, but that still leaves more than 85% of people without forgiveness.

21.02.2024 16:42 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0There’s older legislation that the Biden admin can use to support mass-forgiveness.
21.02.2024 16:29 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0And I think a lot of people who really support Biden, get really upset when criticism is levied against him, because it seems disingenuous or misinformed. But the reality is, for most struggling people, these benefits never reach them.
21.02.2024 16:27 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I think it comes down to everyone talking past eachother. I think a lot of people who criticize Biden understand and acknowledge the things the WH has done for them. Unfortunately, due to a variety of reasons, this progress is not reaching everyone fast enough. So, many people feel abandoned.
21.02.2024 16:26 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0It’s like pointing to the stock market to explain to people who can’t afford rent that “things are going really well for the economy.”
They’re not gonna buy that, whether it’s true or not because from their POV, they’re still struggling.
This seems to be the norm for people who had their debt forgiven.
The system is still broken.
SCOTUS didn’t say Biden couldn’t forgive debt, SCOTUS said Biden couldn’t use COVID-Era legislation to forgive debt. There’s a big difference.
21.02.2024 16:17 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Please stop walking away with the least charitable interpretation of what people are saying. I think people are right to be upset that only a small percentage of loans have been forgiven.
It doesn’t mean people aren’t grateful, some people just want to vent and that’s okay too!
So Biden can tell Arab-American voters that he tried, when we all know he will continue to arm and fund this genocide

isn’t there a bible verse or two about doing good deeds in private? more people should listen
crazy how people don’t see it this way. wealthy people have been degrading poor people with the promise of money for centuries
