Fucking hate the Imperialist Democratic Party, and think there's basically no chance they'll actually pass meaningful student debt relief under Biden.
But a universal vanquishing of the first $50,000 held in student debt by graduates will meaningfully improve the conditions of tens of millions of Americans; for both graduates, and those who did never attended a post-secondary institution alike.
57% of Americans support "forgiving up to $50,000 in student loans for individuals who live in households that make less than $250,000 a year", including a majority of those who never attended a College.
This just seems rich considering Chapo often mocked liberals who were incapable of admitting that Trump can do good things at times, and now they may fall into the same trap of opposing on instinct everything coming from the Biden camp.
Actually people should keep suffering, because stopping it with the stroke of a pen would alienate the working class
My income has been cut in half during covid. It has not recovered yet at all. Not paying nearly $400 a month in student loans has been the only thing keeping me and my family afloat at all. If those loans didn't get deferred I really don't know what I would have done.
I know this isn't as good as a stimulus check for everyone but fuck I would really like to have one thing off my back. I would genuinely be grateful. And the next day I'll go right back to bashing Biden for being generally shitty. This action would help so many people though. Hopefully it would have something for people currently accumulating student debt and future college students.
