    So Biden promised it knowing it wouldn’t pass… this just kinda proves my point more.

      ???

      He did follow through, then Republicans undid it. While Trump is doing a bunch of illegal stuff to follow through on his promises, the president isn’t supposed to have unilateral power.

      Working with split house/senate, Biden used every lever he had to forgive student debt. If you saw him fall short, then your issue is with the republican party, not Biden.

        Are you seriously telling me that Biden didn’t know it wouldn’t pass? The man’s been entrenched in politics his entire life—he knows exactly how the system works. And yet, he still made that promise.

          With rapidly detorirating set of political norms, it’s hard to know what will/won’t happen.

          Still he did cancel a huge chunk of student loan debt, even though the Supreme Court shutdown a larger chunk he was pursuing - source

          Also, we’ve seen the supreme court doing all sorts of crazy things that no one expected (they basically made up facts for overturning roe v wade).
