On January 14, a federal judge in Biden’s home state of Delaware moved to eliminate nearly $100,000 in student loan debt held by a 35-year-old epileptic man. In response, the Justice Department filed a notice of appeal in the case on behalf of Education Secretary Miguel Cardona. If Biden officials now follow through with a fully formed appeal, they would not only be aiming to keep this man overwhelmed with debt, but also moving to solidify a legal interpretation that could preclude even the most beleaguered student debtors from getting relief through bankruptcy courts.
I have a family member who is epileptic, and they've never been able to hold down a job for longer than 3 months. Reading shit like this makes me want to just wipe this planet from existence
In communist China, people are persecuted by the government simply for being born with a disability.
Remember when people had hope that there might even be a limited erasure of student debt by Biden?
They won't deny it, they actually claim he has forgiven a lot of debt.
Huh, according to, uhhh, Forbes the Biden administration claims to have forgiven $15 Billion in student debt, however, that was entirely through three already existing programs some of which they relaxed the requirements for. $2.4 Billion was through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, for people who have devoted their careers to charitable or public institutions. The rest was through the Total and Permanent Disability Discharge, which they claim they will relax the requirements on but have not yet done so, and the Borrower Defense Repayment, that refunds student debt if the educational institution they took it out for was actively defrauding or coercing them (lmao) which the Biden administration (to their credit) did change a policy for that allowed the Borrower Defense Repayment to not actually forgive the student debt even if they were defrauded or coerced into taking it out.
So they have done something, but that $15 Billion number is taking credit for programs that were already in place the Biden administration at most made minor changes to and what $12.5 Billion worth of those programs do isn't so much "forgiveness" as "not trying to take money from people on permanent disability who we explicitly forbid from making any money (and even then it takes 7 years)" and "avoiding criminal liability" respectively.
Hopium reserves ran dry a millennia ago, it's running on copium fumes now
Fuckin losers lmaooooo what were they thinking? Still whining on twitter like it will help instead of just getting a job and paying them back!
I don’t know I think there’s a not insignificant chance they’re on indefinite hold
Yeah my only hope is that reactivating payment is a political death sentence
yea maybe the loans will turn into a hot potato situation, and each president keep passing it on to the next one.
Nah, if Biden doesn't activate it himself, then the next democrat is going to do it. I genuinely don't think the Dems are capable of realizing how long they will be wiped out in any national elections if they reactivate the payments. At least the GOP understands how to time their shit, so that the consequence of their evil hits when the next guy is in office.
Yeah. It'd be one thing if he'd just make the position of the federal government essentially as "useless" as possible in any regard towards domestic issues, but here we see him actively using it dismantle anything good that comes from a state level (while the crocodile tears over voter/abortion rights continue to flow).
:biden-harbinger:
:the-gunman: :shocked-pikachu: :astronaut-1: :farquaad-point:
Biden kinda just feels like Trump, but less occasionally funny.
TRUMP WAS GOING TO DESTROY OUR DEMOCRACY AND NUKE CALIFORNIA :maybe-later-kiddo:
I'm gonna go ahead and lathe Biden nuking some part of the US in response to a general strike or some other leftist uprising.
I don't get how people don't see this and immediately come to the conclusion that incredible violence is the only reasonable answer.
Damn remember when they said he was the most progressive. Almost like nearly everyone's prediction in here were right. I say nearly because there were a shit ton of pro Biden and pro Democrats shit in here around the election time.
Yeah. A lot around election time. Heck even afterwards too. Though it was less.
The man is an empty husk on life support. He was the trick candidate. The people running the show are just ivy league morons that worship the Market and love enforcing draconian bullshit as a form of moral ritual.

Campaign promises matter, and his platform shows a distinct leftward drift.
By Michelle Goldberg
April 20, 2020
And contrary to conventional wisdom, most politicians attempt to keep their campaign promises.
Starting in 2025 I'm looking forward to Michelle Goldberg and other lib pundit morons writing in retrospect about the catastrophic Biden administration. He attempted to keep his campaign promises. He tried!
I just noticed that it was published on 4/20.
Biden: "Should I decriminalize pot via executive order to give us a fighting chance in the elections?"
The Other Biden: "No."
Biden: "Well, I tried."
I had seen the mask of humanity fall from capital. It has to take it off to kill everyone — everything you love; all the hope and tenderness in the world. It has to take it off, just for one second. To do the deed. And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death... the sweetest, most courageous people in the world. You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you know. You know that the bourgeois are not human.
Never forget that Biden was a cheerleader for the Bankruptcy Reform that happened years ago, one of the changes? you can't use bankruptcy to clear/reduce federal student load debt.
