Sen. Elizabeth Warren: "Now we're just ready for President Biden to sign the piece of paper to say cancel $50,000 worth of student loan debt." pic.twitter.com/XHOfhbyJbp— The Hill (@thehill) March 29, 2021
I'm going to parody every single liberal who opposes a debt relief because it isn't a full restructure of our student financial assistance program. Of course it fucking doesn't go far enough, the whole point is that Biden could just do it by signing the paper. I almost actually respect the snake for trying this because it is genuinely a smart, wonky way to get around our awful congress and dumbshit libs suddenly become maoists trying to purge the universities rather than taking the easy technocratic road.
"Student Debt Relief" creates the same problem as "Amnesty for Immigrants", "Raising the Debt Ceiling", and "Increasing the Minimum Wage" in so far as it alleviates the pressure of a chronic problem in the system while also creating a recurring crisis point that politicians fight over solving.
It's a clever way to transmute a long-term problem into a periodic infusion of short-term political capital. But it's also a fucking nightmarish way to govern, as everyone is left in the lurch dependent on the whims of the current political leadership.
As it happens, the current political leader is the same brand of calcified asshole as the last one and the one before and the one before that. So the pressure for systemic change continues to build, absent even short term relief.
