Biden's student debt relief scam

 Red States:

...

Biden spoke on Monday about the student debt relief portal beta test that they conducted over the weekend for people who were applying for the bailout. Biden also attacked Republicans.

Now, let’s talk about who is against helping millions of hardworking middle-class Americans. Republican members of Congress and Republican governors are trying to do everything they can to deny this relief, even to their own constituents.

As soon as I announced my administration’s student debt plan, they started attacking it, saying all kinds of things. Their outrage is wrong and it’s hypocritical.

I will never apologize for helping working Americans and middle-class people as they recover from the pandemic, especially not the same Republicans who voted for a $2 trillion tax cut in the last administration — mainly benefitting the wealthiest Americans and the largest corporations — and didn’t pay for a penny of it and racked up a deficit.

I don’t want to hear from Republican officials again who heard — who had hundreds of thousands of dollars — even millions of dollars — in pandemic relief loans — the PPP loans — but who now attack the working- and middle-class Americans who are getting relief. And these are members of Congress who received those loans. They didn’t do anything wrong, but they qualified. They qualified for up to, in one case, $2 million.

Oh, my, let’s dissect all those lies. The reason that the Republicans have a problem with Biden is that he doesn’t have the power just to declare people’s debt bailed out. The PPP loans that went out to people had a lot of problems, including fraud, but they were approved by Congress, so they were legal, unlike Biden’s move with student debt relief.

Another problem that Republicans and many other Americans have is that the money for the bailout doesn’t just come out of the air, it’s going to come from all the rest of us. So he has the nerve to claim that he’s helping the middle class when he’s actually going to lay the bill for it on them and the other Americans who aren’t getting this deal.

Biden is also lying through his teeth about the Trump tax cut which benefitted 80 percent of Americans, far more than the people who Biden is talking about with the student debt relief, and the tax cut was done legally.

Most Americans are not fooled by this attempt to buy votes from the few who borrowed a lot for college.  Personally, I paid off my student debt decades ago
