like in more 4 days he will have gone 40k down again and will just add 30k to student debt to everybody
turning a big dial taht says "Harm" on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right
the audience is saying to stop and turn it back. still turning dial
"hey we wanna do 40k. ahh... nah republicans will demand compromise, let's make it 10k. hey republicans can you do that" "fuck you and fuck the poor" "ok yeah that works too, $0 is fine. sorry everyone we tried"
😴
So no, that’s not exactly what happened. Bidens plan was always 10k and chuck seems to be pushing for 50k.
That being said we’ll be lucky if we get the 10k which is not nearly enough.
Chuck loves to take the progressive positions on political battles he’s sure to lose. Most people kinda just assume it’s for him to create a buffer against a potential primary from the left.
By “push left” they really meant push the backspace key on the concessions spreadsheet
50K is what Schumer has been saying, Biden's plan was always 10k.
It’s going to end up at limited forgiveness of payments during the pandemic.
They don’t want the bubble to pop. Beyond that, doesn’t matter.
