Democrats can pass it on their own. Joe Manchin is down for it. They'll pass it before November for sure.
Also nobody is 'cancelling debt.' The loans are being paid by the government. This is 100% achievable via executive order. You realize he already froze student loan payment requirements with an executive order?
Biden and his advisors would be an absolute IDIOTs to re-make this promise before the midterms without knowing it can be done. You may think he's 'ol sleepy joe' or whatever the fuck but really, its just a speech impediment, and every decision he makes comes from a machine much larger than any one man.
Education is absolutely fucked in the US and there needs to be reform at some point. The past 20-30yrs have had ever-increasing tuition costs.
This kind of stuff is an inevitability. Historically, this is what hegemonic empires end up going through at the end of each 'power cycle', which occurs every 80-150yrs. The last time being the 1930's-40's where the world's reserve currency switched over from the pound to the dollar. America either crashes and burns, or it works towards improving economic mobility. Expect the Democratic party to have more stuff like this over the next ~10yrs as they attempt to retain trust in the dollar. Otherwise it will probably switch over to the Euro within most of our lifetimes.
I could go more into depth but I know most of you don't read anything but coloring books. -

Originally posted by lockedin What's happening to the GOP is hard to parse, how they've gone from kinda dull, mostly generic 20th century style neocons to the party of overt crazy and retarded in less than 10 years. I guess it's what happens when you introduce boomers to facebook and throw in a little Trump.
its not really hard at all
Right wing populism always leads to fascism
This happens every 80-150yrs. -

Some of us already paid our student loans off. Do we get a fucking refund?!
So just because you had to pay a ridiculous amount it means everyone in the future should as well?
The best thing about this will not be the elimination of debt but the stopping of predatory loan practices that made this a problem to begin with.
minimum monthly payment down from 10% to 5%
Zero monthly payment if making under 225% the national poverty level
Elimination of monthly interest if you pay the minimum
Elimination of student loan balances under 12k after 10yrs.
The bill is still being drafted of course but this is REALLY GOOD so far. -
