U.S. President Joe Biden plans to announce on Wednesday that his administration has approved an additional $9 billion in student debt relief for 125,000 borrowers, the White House said.
Biden has said he will pursue new measures to provide student loan relief to Americans after the Supreme Court blocked his plan to cancel hundreds of billions of dollars in debt.
The president’s announcement, planned for 1 p.m. EDT at the White House, will bring the total approved debt cancellation by the Biden administration to $127 billion for nearly 3.6 million Americans, the White House said.
Richard Wolff gets mine.
I’d happily vote for Dr. Wolff.
As I’d happily vote Dr. Cornel West, comrade.
People who say this are so fuckin bougie. Poor people can’t afford to throw away their votes, but middle class people fuck over the poor by doing so all the time.
Poor people don’t really vote in the first place. And when they do they vote for rich people like those in the Democratic or Republican party.
Good way to agree that you’re an entitled dude lol. I know people who vote because their life depends on the GOP not further dismantling the welfare state
Yet they continue to fail to defend it. They would be forced to if there was a strong left party using their leverage against the Dems.
lol you’re so divorced from reality, it’s kinda sad. Rich people without empathy sicken me
LMAO if I was rich I wouldn’t be involved in third party politics trying to force concession from the major two parties to alleviate poverty. Dems never gave a single fuck about poverty, and wealth inequality keeps getting worse when they’re in office.
it’s condescending to tell poor people who they can afford to vote for
Oh wow, an insult from Lenny’s biggest troll. All done making excuses for climate change, I guess?
I’ve never done that.
Bud, it’s been less than 24 hours since you blew up the thread with climate change aplogism for the industry that contributes more to climate change than any other on the planet lol
that’s a lie
I didn’t insult you, I gave you etiquette pointers. calling me a troll doesn’t change whether you’re being condescending.
Condescending pointers from Lemmy’s biggest troll.
Sorry. Is that better? Enjoy ruining the planet
