  1. Extend the pause on payments until all of this is resolved.

  2. What idiot takes out loans to get a job that does not pay enough to cover their debt.

  3. There are people who have extreme hate toward student loan holders thinking they will inherit their debt by student loan forgiveness. What these people don't realize is that aid goes out around the world, debt is inherited to them and all of us no matter what through taxes and aid that goes out globally and to corporations. What these people are doing is because of their extreme hatred toward one side in politics they believe that they should help no one yet if the circumstances were switched, many of them would plead for help themselves. There exists a strong division and hate in this country and those people against forgiveness only see one side, their own. They care not for unity, they would rather see others helped anywhere else but than their own which would strengthen our country. As a nurse I hear it daily from politically polarized individuals who feel they shouldn't have to help anyone yet they themselves are not afraid to accept help when in a precarious health situation. It's sheer selfishness to not be able to see how easily anyone's life can fall apart or mistakes made and not want to help others. However I see that those people are the ones who particularly struggle in times of poor health and unable to deal with trails of life.

  4. The republicans are fking disgusting people . they got their fraudulent PPP loans but wont help the Americans . Disgusting .

  5. They will give bailouts to car companies, banks, big business but have a fit when they try to help students…

  6. I worked very hard my entire life to get what I have. Most people I know have too. I deserve what I have and will not give it up so that someone WHO HAS NOT can feel equal. Nor will I assume their debt. I have had to pay my debt and insist everyone else be held to the same standard.

  7. People should’ve paid their loans off during this time with 0% interest like me. Now, I’m student debt free since I used this time that I was given to pay it off. I didn’t choose to not pay them and expect the government to forgive my loans. That is quite a “not smart” idea to have. When will you have an opportunity to have 0% interest on a loan. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

  8. This comment section is brain dead oh my god

  9. This is insane. The vast majority with 30k of debt can afford to pay it back. It is unjust for us hard working people to fund the elites and their college expenses.

  10. You would of thought democrats w9uld of used this money to help fix be school lunches they destroyed so kids stop starving at school.

  11. People will take the money and still not vote for him

  12. Stocks are good but I swapped and invested in Forex and Bitcoin trading I've been making good profit

  13. "I got ya a dollar"
    "ohhp ohhp, you gotta be quicker than that!"

  14. if you didn't have any college debt before biden, you do now

  15. Republicans & GOP:"Those Student loans forgiveness plans money are for our pockets! You should pay your own student loans!"

  16. I got my own bills & mouths to feed. How about you.

  17. Biden use this law to get more vote ,but only some will get this, like Omama before. 99% peoples will not get it.

  18. Most voters are saying “Shove this plan up your ass Joe”

  19. It's the Republicans that are blocking not Biden

  20. Voters are not saying pay your own bills. Why don't you tell that to the Republicans when they got everything free and tax breaks

  21. It's so sad in this country that you can get billions to fund a war but you cannot get any relief to help taxpayers out.

  22. Hope never, u signed u pay….

  23. U sign u pay. Not right

  24. The Constitution: I do not approve this message
    Don't waste your time,this isn't going to pass…
    Pelosi even said it could not be done this way.

  25. Let’s go Brandon🖕🏾

  26. Good 👍 unlawfully go work ok

  27. Well, nobody asked me. So, as a voter, I'm saying that you should pay your own damn bills.

  28. When you're not responsible enough to pay back your own debt your are scum

  29. I M M O R A L I W I L L N E V E R V O T E F O R A T H I E V I N G D E M O C R A T E V E R A G A I N

  30. Why should taxpayers gin up votes for Democrats by footing the bill for students who were adults when they signed those loan papers?. Pay your own student debts. I paid mine.

  31. Healthcare is more of a pressing issue then student loan debt… People are dying every day because they don't get proper doctor care, they don't go on a regular basis to prevent diseases and problems.. people only going as catastrophic problems with their health.. Like myself I'm almost 50 years old I haven't been to the doctor once in my life …I'm putting it off because I cannot afford it.. It's either get a check up or being able to pay your rent or food all you can do is try to eat the best you can and take care of yourself the best you can but there are days that I wish I could see a doctor can't afford it and dental care forget about it that's even worse.. i'm actually in the process of pulling my own wisdom tooth I'm loosening it day by day eventually I'll yank it out myself.. it cracked a few years back..

  32. Socialism works until you run out of other people's money?

  33. Here we go with a caca slinging fest between the left & the right. The only way to recovery is to admit that both sides are corrupt, unanimously. This nation was founded on the idea that people can govern. So let’s try it.

  34. Click bait title here, and it's false advertising. This is about Biden's defense of the plan, not about what voters are thinking. Voters are thinking all sorts of things, for and against, and for a wide variety of reasons. I'd like to hear about all those things, and why they think them. This kind of reporting is repulsive. If you want to report Biden's defense, fine; but say so first! We're adults out here, not children! We're fed up with being spoon fed.

  35. Have money for war but cant help the middle class to pay off student loans ??

  36. What's wrong with depth forgiveness for students? Why should they start off with depth. It's just that some kool-aids or counting on that money and Republicans are envious.
