'Congratulations! I erased your student loans. Now will you vote for me?'
That's what President Biden should have said in an email to more than 800,000 student loan borrowers – because his latest scheme to 'forgive' some of their $1.78 trillion in outstanding debts is nothing more than a bribe.
'Your student loan has been forgiven because of actions my Administration took to make sure you receive the relief you earned and deserve,' read the White House message sent to in-boxes on Tuesday.

He may pick up a few student votes, but a lot of independents don't want to put other people's kids through college.

Where is Congress on this? I thought the Senate made the rules and the House paid the bills and the pResident made suggestions of what he wanted to do. Can no one stop his (and Obama's) constant raiding of the Treasury?

It's un-Constitutional, he has been told directly, yet he persists in this felony. He's crazy as an outhouse rat.

Whatever happened to contract law and personal responsibility. When the students took out their student loans, they did so with full knowledge that they would need to be paid back. The terms were in writing, they signed off. Biden just discards the signed contracts between the financial institutions and the debtor. Now they cry its too hard to pay the loans back. If he can void these contracts, what's next? Mortgages, car loans, credit card debt? All things the person knowingly entered into and also makes it hard to live.

Yesterday, there was an article about how Harvard was having a class about Taylor Swift. How many of these "forgiven" student loans were for people who used their loan money for classes like this? Why should anyone have to pay off the loans of someone taking classes like this?

I took a part-time job and my daughter did too so we could pay her student loans. We did it. And she took business classes, not classes on Taylor Swift taught by a trans loon.

It's a joke, right? Deadbeats who can get money from the government don't take jobs.

If you have a job that only pays 52 grand a year after getting a college degree, then you got robbed. I suspect that your average non college grad working in some sort of industry or skilled service position is making more than that. Plus, they didn't go into debt to get the job.

If a person wants a four year degree badly enough they can find a way on their own steam. If a person wants to spend an all-expense paid 4-5 year holiday from reality playing “drunken grown-up” at a luxury resort the money must come from the Bank of Mom and Dad. Some people had to forget dreams of college or leave early for financial reasons and some went into the military for the G.I. Bill. I have no interest in paying for other people’s brats to go on an overpriced goose chase just to find out that they hate their parents. If this Biden bribe is foisted on the American people we have a patriotic duty to withhold taxes en masse or kill it some other way.

Earn 52k a year?!? No way. Jobs as social activists and social media influencers do not count. Many of them intend to mooch off their parents the rest of their lives.
Total US debt is already over 100 trillion. Over 30 trillion of that is federal debt. We don't have the money. This is one reason why we have inflation. We are so deep in debt because of corrupt government practices and policies.

This amounts to regressive taxation. There was a time that Democrats would have found that offensive. But memories are short nowadays.

Gonna go against the grain here. $475 billion in student loan debt in a one timie event? Let's find that money somewhere to pay for it. We spend $1.2 TRILLION every year, year in and year out, on welfare payments. So, let's make it into a choice: 1) spend 475 billion ONCE on people who earm money, pay taxes, and contribute to the economy and society, or 2) spend 1.2 trillion EVERY YEAR on people who don't work, don't pay taxes, and contribute essentially nothing. I'll take door number 1, and I'd pay for it out of the welfare slush fund.

I seem to remember that Biden tried to bail out the deadbeat students at the expense of the taxpayers and the Supreme Court shot him down.

Sorry for the second comment, but it is clear the loan foregiveness program, regardless of whether it ever goes into effect, is already a complete success. Judging by the comments here, they have succeeded in once again dividing up working, contributing Americans and pitting us against each other while the real freeloaders go their merry way freeloading. Most of the comments here are in the nature of "where's MINE" or "what do I get out of it?" Precisely the result they intended.

Right now, we have no true opposition party to what Biden is doing so this will stand. I see no Republican leader upset or freaking out about this. It is outrageous.

If I had $1,800, I'd present a magnificent wedding present to my grandson and his bride. CASH.
