MODERATORS
If every borrower really gets that it would fix a lot, especially if it stayed true for new borrowers.
But if it was anyone that owes more than they got, that number would be a lot higher than 25 million.
The prior paragraph doesn't help much
But I don't expect anything to happen before the election, and if Biden wins it won't be brought up again till midterms. But I'm just going off of decades of watching the Dem party fail to follow thru.
You had me until the end there, the dems absolutely tried to make it work, the GOP shut it down with their packed court judges
Biden waited two years till midterms, did something last minute that didn't work...
And ignored it for another 2 years till an election was coming.
Why would anyone believe this will be different?
Why would we believe moderates actually want to fix something when all evidence shows it's just them looking for votes around elections?
That is not what happened, at all. Look, I have student loans, I was elated to get them forgiven, still waiting, might not happen because of the GOP. It's easy to say Biden didn't follow through if you just want to be mad about it, but those aren't the facts
I've linked this scene from Bulworth before, not sure if you saw it.

Eh, with how hostile the GoP and even some of the Dems have been, I'm just amazed even this much got passed
Or cave under the least little bit of resistance. :)
