    We are talking about two very different things.

    The reply I responded to was about student debt forgiveness. Forgiveness does not equal payment suspension.

    Yes, his post was threaded a couple down from yours, but neither my post, nor the post I responded to mentioned payment suspension. Your reply should probably be up a post or two.

    Trump and republicans of course want the people to pay every penny, plus interest of student debt. Biden kept loan payment suspensions up for years, which is far longer than I expected. Biden is getting debt forgiveness to the people, and a large number of them, and it is making a difference. I don’t think anyone thought he would accomplish a fraction of what he has gotten done; I can only imagine what he can get done if people give the Dems a majority in the Senate and House.

    With the republicans trying to shutdown the government for their political circus, Biden has done a good job of picking his battles, and making them look like fools. It’s clear the current Republican party is incapable of governing.

      That was OP both you and I have been commenting with. To be fair, OP used the phrase “loan relief”, nevertheless “total rug pull” is clearly untrue and OP did not acknowledge it as hyperbole.

      What OP ought to understand is that Biden didn’t bargain it away to appease Mickey Mouse, he was appeasing Republicans who were holding the budget to ransom (yet again) as you pointed out.

      Or maybe OP isn’t discussing in good faith to start with? Maybe “this is what my friends say” is really just cover for an attempt to spread misinformation?
