Then vote them out. That’s how our constitutional republic works. It’s designed to prevent extreme swings.
It is actually quite absurd. Hypocrisy in politics is beyond infuriating. If the roles were reversed, they would be throwing a fit.
That’s exactly what we all expected…and intended. What’s the outrage here? I’m not seeing it.
Both sides have entered into this, “Well Trump did it” or “AOC did it” therefore we can do it it. I hate saying stuff for a wide range of people, but I bet a lot of Americans are just sick of it.

Those receiving President Biden's student debt forgiveness won't see an actual check in the mail, but lower monthly payments may change how recipients budget.www.cnbc.com
Weird how that will transfer LOTS of liquidity to Main St and out of Wall St....
That’s a cop out. Did you think Covid was an emergency in Sep 22 that necessitated $400B in student loan relief?
By any rational standard it was an abuse of emergency powers and circumvented Congress.
Unfortunately we’ve become an “ends justify the means” nation politically.
If you agree with the student loan relief you don’t give a crap about the means.
Idc about the loan forgiveness, farm subsidies, etc. We need to feed the nation and want that same nation to be as educated and skilled as possible to not only be able to compete globally but to stay at the top of the pyramid of power.
Weren't most of them doing that anyway instead of aggressively paying their loans? Additionally didn't some of them do that with their student loans to begin with?
Throughout history when there have been government programs, not everyone has benefitted.
This is no different other than this one didn't run through Congress.
I just don’t understand the selfishness from those not getting forgiveness.
I am not getting any benefit. You don't see me pissing and moaning.
So based on your second sentence you are saying, “There’s no difference except this was illegal.” Got it. Because this is the exact line of thinking that Trump used to justify terrible things. Glad to know you are on his side.
They were able to poll 40 million people. That's impressive. I'll have to ask the wife how she responded, I don't recall her mentioning this poll.
It is when you're simultaneously trying to subdue the worst inflation in 40 years...
No it’s not fine. That’s the entire point. The President doesn’t have this power. Trump didn’t have the power to try and overturn the election, but he still tried. All your saying he needed to do was draft an executive order and it’s all good???
But all these lawsuits to overturn it are a waste of time. Let’s say hypothetically it does get overturned 3 years down the road, is the federal government going to give a massive voting bloc an additional $10k in debt?
Also didn’t they try this in Wisconsin and Barret throw the lawsuit out instantly?
So you believe that if Republicans would block a bill, than the president has the right just implement it? Wow, wonder why people think you are an authoritarian.
Well, Slow Joe just got his ass kicked (again) in court by a federal judge.
Trump diverted money that had been earmarked for improvements on military bases to fund his wall. And it was legal. The president has that power. Don't like it - tell Congress to take back the power.
Simple.
That comment is beyond stupid.
I'm not getting into such a ridiculous argument.
The loan forgiveness is not for a loan taken out in sometime in the next 20 years.
Goddammit, be better.
Again. This “that guy did it” so it makes it right for my guy to do it, just sounds childish. And I would argue that our southern boarder had become an emergency lately that Biden doesn’t know what to do. Are you seriously saying that student loan debt is an emergency or that Covid is an emergency right now?
“Rich white kids” = anyone with student loan debt making less than $250,000 as a household…
And per OP, those people then turned around and gave that money to the “hardworking blue collar Americans.”
Abby eats lead chips, everyone.
Not when you're taking the money from other people to pay for it.
Your vacation is gonna have to wait.
You understand the concept of an Executive Order? The President has the power, is that illegal too?
Tuesday's election was somewhat of a reaction to what Biden is doing/has done. Judging by some narrow Republican victories, doesn't look like that Red Wave materialized, so I don't think the loan thing was an issue.
Show me where people that voted for GOP candidates listed "loan forgiveness" as the big reason they voted red.
I'll save you time... they didn't.
