Oh I know all about all of those things, and they’re valid things, everyone just seems to forget that this all started because Biden decided to take action to begin with. All the criticism is valid, I see no reason to omit any facts.
The administration chose the easy way first. (I don’t see why they wouldn’t have to be honest.) They have totally dropped the ball on keeping it a priority.
And if you read my comment, there’s no opinions in it. Just a question sandwiched between two facts.
See, there’s where we differ. You think they chose the “easy” option. This seems to imply some kind of desire to actually accomplish what they set out to do. We think they chose the option they knew would fail so they would have an excuse for not doing anything, which is what they wanted all along. The Democrats have a long history of weaseling their way out of anything remotely progressive. They’re goddamn experts at using the system to accomplish nothing, only to then fundraise on it forever.
This one will join the dustbin of dead leftish policies, like a “Public Option,” Increased minimum wage, and codifying Roe v Wade.
He did? Oh nice, that’s why I’m still making payments on my student loans then huh. Thanks Biden real useful. Thanks for doing it in a way that was always going to get challenged by, and struck down by, the supreme court. I know you had many other methods you could have tried, but I’m glad you chose the one that would never actually happen. Super useful, really feeling like that promise has been kept.
By the way Biden still owes me $600 from his promise of “$1200 checks out the door immediately.” Still waiting! I’m sure that’s another promise that will be kept any day now. That’s fine though, it’s better to try one tiny thing that was never going to work and pretend like that means you did it rather than to actually fight for something. That’s what we vote for, one piddly little attempt.
He could have tried to pack the court and made them stop him, you know, act like he was putting in the effort.
Why are we even so concerned about the fucking court, they barely have anyone with guns who answers to them, send in the troops and do something good with them for once.
If the justices do strike down the proposal, McCollum says the administration’s best alternative would be to look to the Higher Education Act (HEA). This 1965 law allows student loan relief for certain groups of borrowers, including those whose institutions have since closed.
McCollum points out that, under section 432(a) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1082(a), the Secretary is given the authority to modify, “… compromise, waive, or release any right, title, claim, lien, or demand, however acquired, including any equity or any right of redemption.”
Biden: “There’s literally nothing I can do. I have to garnish your wages if you don’t pay the debts I cancelled. Its entirely in the hands of the bureaucrats and judges I appointed. Sorry kid! But I will expect your vote in November.”
He literally did though. Do people forget that? It’s not like he asked the trumpanzee court to pull an uno reverse on him.
The Biden administration has multiple avenues to tackle student loan debt and they purposefully chose the one with the greatest chance of failure
They also chose not to try and pack the court with friendly judges or even find an avenue that could bypass the supreme court entirely
They’re also completely done with actually trying anything to actually live up to the initial promises they’ve made
It’s literally Flanders’ parents, but without the excuse of them being freaky beatniks
Now that’s a well reasoned take. I actually agree with everything you said.
It’s amazing what you can learn when you don’t walk in here flinging shit. We’re actually pretty cool and more than happy to explain our position.
o7 for humility and being open to information that contradicts your pre conceived notions.

Oh by the way I think you dropped this

So they could just do it, but won’t, at least they’re not blaming the parliamentarian for this one
