Only explanation is he doesn't know or doesn't give a fukk. This is bad policy - economically AND politically. The president may be unable to cancel student loan debt (for federal loans)...but he can clearly delay payments. He could delay them as long as he's president in fact. Now is not the time to restart.

The WH is delusional. They're looking at top level numbers and saying yup the economy is doing great. Which may be true but given inflation, rising rent etc etc...it's not being felt by ordinary Americans. Anything to help folks is welcome. Especially fukking now, with inflation running wild. What the hell are they doing...

everyone is mashing buttons on twitter and tiktok instead of emailing and calling their reps

It’s been two years. What did people expect?

I legit bet this is a pump fake. They’ve done this before where they say some dumb shyt then backtrack shortly.

He said he'd waive 10k. Didn't do it. Instead of restarting payments while we're marred in inflation? While his approval ratings are historically bad to the point people wonder whether he'll even run again?

When is the last time the WH got any good news. It's been a downward slide after since Afghanistan...

It’s been two years and you’re restarting them all at once with new student loan servicers… sounds like an administrative shid show. Not mention more bad optics.

Buttigieg’s own husband is even posting about it :mjlol:

People are wondering if Biden will run again because he'll be 82 when his term is up. It has little to nothing to do with his approval ratings.

Sounds like you're placing the bulk of the responsibility for loan relief on the borrowers. :patrice:

There wouldn't be a more damning indictment of how useless and incompetent Dems have become in leading the country than them needing post it note reminders put on their office monitor screens to "Help your voters". Right next to "Yoga class at 5", and "Pick up X-Mas cookies order on the way home".


I got no personal dog in the race, but anybody who seriously believed Joe Biden, the reigning heavyweight champion of the Bankruptcy Bill that is arguably the greatest reason for the current state of the student loan crisis in the first place, was gonna do anything to have a serious impact on student loans was a sucker of monumental proportions.

Voted on agendas ran on housing assistance, childcare, community college, student loan debt relief. I'm doing alright for myself but damn...


Same here. It's kinda sad that I have more desire to see certain issues like childcare and student loans addressed that personally don't affect me than some of the people who actually got put into office running on those very platforms.

The administration is trying to stay out of its own way by not introducing congressionally unpopular executive action/bills until BIF and BBB were passed. I get it but they wouldn't have to do this if they had of hammered filibuster reform along side pandemic relief.

They've hamstringed themselves into being a one-issue-at-a-time administration in fear that political popular moves will kill major agenda pushes.

Yeah I’ve already come to terms with it. One things for sure tho. Dems won’t get anymore of my votes.

Yup I'm done. I don't even give a fukk anymore. I'm done with politics period. Well I guess besides local.
