its 100% intentional on the administrations part. this is their 'creative' way of trying to not meet their campaign promise. highly annoying.

He still has time to do loan forgiveness "helicopter money" style. But even if all we got was an expansion of targeted relief programs I think it totally counts as fulfilling his talking point. The issue with student debt is that for some people there's no way out, but generally speaking college-educated people are more well-off and forgiving all debt would be a regressive stimulus that targets the wealthier side of the population. Targeted relief is a great way around that.

this isn't targetted relief. this is shit that was already suppose to be done.

also regressive stimulus are not even a thing. maybe you're thinking of regressive taxes? which still wouldn't be right.

No. The previous guy installed people in the DOE that made it virtually impossible to forgive the loans even after they jumped through all the hoops to qualify under the law.

All Biden's administration is doing here is ungumming people who were eligible years ago. This is cleanup from the prior administration

when in reality: hes done jack shit except what already is suppose to happen!

I promise you biden's PR group is the force behind these articles.
