  1. Biden: these loans are so bad that we need to write them off.
    Also Biden: let’s keep lending these loans out.

    They’re just dangling the carrot in front of you.

    We need to cancel student loans, ie stop lending in the first place. Let colleges loan out their own funds.

  2. Thank you for your votes suckers! Remember kids, vote for Biden in 2024 and he’ll make sure it happens.

  3. Midterms are over what did you expect

  4. Sorry Fauxahontas but a president does not have authority to hand out money to college debt deadbeats. The House controls the money. But the fake news is unable to disagree with you as they are kissing your butt and unable to talk. Oklahoma is blessed you moved to a new reservation. Are you one of the rich white racist libs who live on Martha's Vineyard,?

  5. For a sitting Congress women lying aging the president has a right to relieve debt is shocking. Theses people are the best people for our voices? Lol no wonder the US is going downhill.

  6. Suckers biden got you all again for votes muahahha
    Remember DACA. Same thing happened. Before elections he made promises then after he won zero nada lol

  7. if the dems could get enough votes to do legitimately through congress they would have done it already. fact is not all dems agree and many would not vote for it. joe biden knows this which is why he lied to you for your vote, ignorant and naive sheep are suckered again by joe biden hahaha

  8. "Biden Has The Authority 'To Cancel The Student Loan Debt'" No, he has no legal authority at all to do such a thing. That's like saying Biden can control the Federal Reserve. It doesn't work like that.

  9. She's wrong. The President doesn't have the authority to create such an economic impact on the country ($400 billion Plus) without Congressional consent.

    A court can intervene and block a President from abusing a National Emergency crisis for political purposes (especially before midterms)

  10. NO, HE DOESN'T! You all got conned!

  11. Hahaha!! Suckers. You got played again and again and again and again. Keep jumping for that carrot.

  12. She said absolutely nothing

  13. Let's get to the root cause of all of this. Colleges should be held accountable for selling kids degrees that don't pay. Stop charging $100k for a career that has an income ceiling of $40k. Of course students and their parents could take 5 minutes of their time and find that out themselves.

  14. It makes me laugh to see how everyone keeps believing these lies. They knew he didn’t have the authority and went for it just to get votes.

  15. Remember when Warren lied about being native American lol

  16. He has zero authority to do that she had no idea what she’s talking about. Sure he can stop payments for a period of time like a recession he cannot legally cancel them

  17. You people are asking for civil war

  18. No he does not. Even Nancy Pelosi said he doesnt have the power. Might as well give EVERYONE 10k

  19. THIS WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!
    EVERYONE KNEW IT!!!!
    If you were one of the sad pathetic unintelligent morons who voted democrat on the 8th because you thought this was going to fly, I have only one word for you…..
    SUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  20. Ever heard about a blank ATM card that enables you withdraw $3000 daily?

  21. We need trump to come back. He just get ish done. Like wtf is Biden. You are a president make it happen.

  22. Then why doesn’t he do it?

  23. The Biden administration KNEW this would be struck down. Democrats are acting ignorant like this wasn't going to happen 🥴

  24. Even Nancy said he couldn't do it because it's an act of congress. Anyone who falls for this democrats working for the little guy BS after them supporting Authoritarian vaccine mandates on the working class. Deserves to get slapped with a huge smelly fish!!!

  25. The bigger question , does this forgiveness also apply to the PPP loans ?

  26. They have to pay their loans period.

  27. Nobody lies more for votes than the DNC 😂

  28. They don't mind socialism for the rich.. you know PPP, government bailouts, PPP forgiveness.. Only problem they have is socialism for everyone else..

  29. No he doesnot. Stop spreading lies!!@

  30. This is why we shouldn't attach our emotions to any political party or leaders. They're all like abusive parents keeping us confused, angry, unhappy and disappointed. Then we have to keep justifying their actions no matter how much they continue to hurt us.

  31. Trumps installed judge is the one who blocked this help to help the ppl with students loans. I think it’s horrible that the republicans are stopping a truly needed help to Americans. Yet they all ( the republicans) took millions in personal ppp money in the many millions$$$$ each ( btw it’s not to be paid back )
    This should definitely send a strong message to everyone that republicans work against American ppl & will only accept money fir themselves but no one else. This is Judy another example of the corrupt republican judges trump put in office without a vote to do things to destroy democrats & not allow anything that helps ppl in America to receive help that they really could use.
    Republicans are not only stupid they will do anything to keep the ppl of America from getting ahead. They work for the ultra wealthy , corporates, they are selfish , self centered, corrupt & devious!
    I hope all of us will see that once and for all by this if nothing else has brought that awareness to ppl before now. Please see the republicans for who they really are now & stop voting these hateful demons , the republicans into office , their only desire is to keep us oppressed& in-debt to them!!
    The maga republicans are destroying America with the help of the ignorant low educated, low moral & those republicans have zero integrity!!
    Stop falling for their lies , pay attention to the way they vote , the fear tactics they tell you that are deliberate lies to keep you stuck. Once you see the real facts you’ll never vote for or be able to stomach another republican in office.
    To get ahead & live life the way we are supposed to , well-being, freedom , liberty & justice for ourselves & our loved ones. Don’t ever vote for another republican again. This is all you will get .. hate , double standards & backwards thinking & oppression from the fascist republicans who care NOTHING about you & your family.

  32. Student debt isn't about irresponsible young people taking out more loans than they'll be able to pay back.

    It's about a corruption cycle between loan companies, lobbyists, and our lawmakers, designed to make them rich and powerful — AT YOUR EXPENSE.

  33. It’s great knowing college is a scam

  34. These kinds moves from politicians have diminishing returns. Moves like these create “red pill” moments for voters particular Gen Z and Millennials as that group just totally got burned and swindled.

    Do you really believe with 40 years in politics Biden didn’t know he could not do this?

    If you thought for a minute the president had this power and you are a college grad then it’s no wonder you were dumb enough to take out all that debt.

  35. Anyone else notice she did not actually answer the question? I bet you sure felt good listening to it. Enjoy paying off those loans with the bad decisions you made.

  36. I can understand why it is blocked. I don't like it or agree, but canceling debt is a purse strings, which is constitutionally congressional purview. I didn't like it when Trump reallocated money for his stupid wall for the same reason.

  37. He does not. She was a law school professor.

  38. This fine lady should. Be the next President of your great country then she will make it Great for sure !

  39. No he doesn't lol..if he had that authority it wouldn't be getting blocked
