Poor old Joe.

Trump: I need $540 million to appeal my fraud conviction for overvaluing my property.

Bank: $540 million?

Trump: That is correct. $540 million.

Bank: You’re asking us to loan you a half a billion dollars? To appeal a fraud conviction? A fraud conviction for defrauding banks.

Trump: Yes. $540 million. I’m good for it. I’m very rich. I can’t even tell you.

Bank: What do you have for collateral?

Trump:

Bank:

Trump: Well, I have some property in New York…

Bank: Security!

Nancy Pelosi said, only congress can forgive student debt and the Supreme Court agreed with her.

And yet it doesn’t cost nearly as much as the tax cuts the GOP have been giving the wealthy in order to get their patronage. That patronage bought them gerrymandered districts and a Supreme Court.

I’d rather just forgive student loans, TBH.

So micheal saying they dont deserve freedom from burdens?

Illegally, of course.

Why is there such hate, such outrage at the prospect of money spent to release people from insurmountable, predatory debt?

Is this the same dumba$$ “bootstrap” crowd who think, after others have benefitted, now is when the rest of the people shouldn’t?

Really old Joe.

Screw you suckers who already paid for your college education or didn’t go to college at all. You’re going to pay for someone’s college anyway, despite what the Supreme Court says. Cadaver Joe needs to buy votes.

Pardons are bad now?

Canceling student debt is buying votes, pure and simple.

Shameful. Politicians should never do anything to help the American public.

Biden is, once again, buying the votes of young dilettantes who don’t understand contracts, and personal responsibility, with other people’s money.

Please take your seat by that emergency exit, Mr. President.

ALL he is doing is enforcing laws that have been on the books for many years, since at least Bush. complain to Congress’s past if you want.

Giving a generation of American young people a chance at the American dream. I say this as a former college student who borrowed tens of thousands and paid it all back. I am looking forward to these young people buying homes, cars, and starting businesses which is good for the American economy.

Where were you when Trump ran up the deficit by 8.4 trillion, I didn’t see any complaints then.

There is no way of knowing what we have lost by of not giving every person their best opportunity to achieve whatever they can. It is detrimental to the entire human race, not just to the individual. And, it isn’t just that the mind that could have discovered the cure for cancer could have been born in poverty and never learned to read .The average college graduate pays more in federal taxes very year of their working life than the average high school graduate. If that’s divided by the 4 years it takes to get a college education, and PUBLIC schools were free, those additional taxes would pay for the cost of college, with a net gain for total income taxes paid. THE REST OF US WOULDN’T HAVE TO PAY MORE TAXES, IN FACT THE NET EFFECT WOULD BE A TAX PLUS. This doesn’t even consider that with the degree, the person is less likely to ever need unemployment or welfare, and that more students would complete high school if they could see it as the way to a good job. They would also be paying a larger amount in all other types of taxes, social security and Medicare.

The best investment we could make to keep America strong is to not just forgive all student loans but to make all public higher education, including trade schools, etc totally free, as long as the student is making decent grades. There is no better way to spend money than to give our people every opportunity to be the best they can be. Yes, It’s good for them individually, but the country is made up of individuals, so it’s good for the country.

Republicans in congress won’t even fix our border or help our allies against Russia. They surely won’t help any Americans.

he’s got a point…seems like Biden is trying to buy votes with this move

No good deed goes unpunished.

What policy cannot be condemned as vote buying?

I wish I could get other people to pay for all my good deeds.

Only dictators ignore SC rulings and congress.

How in this world will Congress be able to lower corporate income taxes?
