    not even a rounding error
    He could order it descheduled
    It’s actually exactly the same

    What dishonest communication, none of these points dismiss the truth of what was posted.

      Not just that, they’re literally all not true even within the weird little cherry-pick framework.

      $138 billion is about 8% of total student loan debt outstanding for everyone for all years, which means yes it’s far from the whole thing, but it’s also not a rounding error or a small amount to just whoopsie-daisy out of the federal budget. And saying it’s all Biden’s fault he didn’t use his magic wand to create another trillion and a half dollars to clear the balance in full, it means he doesn’t care so I can’t support him as a result is… well, par for the course for this type of argument I guess.

      (Oh, and actually he tried to forgive around half a trillion dollars in loan debt, but the Supreme Court which it doesn’t matter who nominates justices for because both sides are the same, told him no.)

      And he did order it descheduled over a year ago, see the discussion below

      And by “exactly the same” bro means reduced by half, see the screenshots below from bro’s own source

        Oh so gratifying to read some serious consideration this morning, thanks for taking the time to share it.
