Well, he has been very successful at it so far. Why doubt him this time around?
Because it's easier to rag on Biden than it is to actually educate oneself on what's been accomplished.
For me it's a case of "I'll believe it when I see it." Not ragging on Biden, I believe he's earnest in his desire to do something about student loan debt, but it's all the road blocks that are put in his way. A lot of people don't want student loan debt relief for whatever reason.
That's fair. I have experienced it 2nd hand through my wife, so I am believing it because I've seen it. That was a massive relief after she had faithfully paid her loan for 20 years, but due to dishonest loan advisers and refinancers, she was exactly one of the victims that John Oliver made an episode about.
Biden fixed it and forgave her loan, which was still substantial after 20 years.
Yeah, my ex is still paying hers after 20 years, but does not fit any of the categories Biden has been able to help. We expect her to finally pay it off in the next couple of years without help.
Of course we’re all for as many people as possible being helped, even if it’s not her.
Hey man, I'm happy for her. Sometimes things do work out. But again, until that balance is reduced through something other than my paycheck, I won't hold my breath
The problem is when it happens no one ever sees it.
Biden does all kinds of good stuff and the media ignores it.
Yeah, agreed. The Biden administration isn't great at banging it's chest and boasting. Take out a full page and in the NYT kind of stuff.
