Yes but it will take 4 years

And what about teachers and the education departments!

ALL STUDENTS. Not only covidists.

No 'we' about it , the TAXPAYER , pays you dope . So there is now less money to fix the Health System ...oh ...Taxes will rise to cover it ... oh ...ok 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Who decided this, not fucking me. This is not how you fix a broken system!

Now if only we had those 4000 beds he promised us all

Budding class actions too…

Is that called management, or a situation created due to miss management

So we lose them after 2 years. This money could be better spent on wages.

buys votes?

Are all the leftists now running this scam

NOTHING IS FREE . TAX PAYER FUNDED .

A lot easier and cheaper if you just got rid of the mandates

End all covid mandates may be a lot cheaper.

Just add it to the tab

This will only make the nursing Shortage worse. No one will want to become a nurse after this subsidy ends therefore it will never end. Also what about all the nurses who just finish paying for the degree they might be upset and wanting compensation, Or just leave the industry

Thats all well and good for the future. The health services need help now. Find ways to entice nurses & doctors back to the profession now.

and were is the money coming from..springst

This is soo wrong

Gees why do I get the impression that an election is looming Chairman Dan is doing well distancing himself from the past! Where are the Libs and why are they not attacking him for the huge debt and deficits..and the mismanaged Pandemic and health issues!!!

👏👏👏

Thanks Biden!

‘Paying off the privileged’: Biden’s student debt cancellation plan about ‘buying’ votesThe Democrats are trying to buy their way into office by paying off the privileged with working class taxpayer's money, Sky News host James Morrow says. President Joe Biden said on Wednesday the US government will cancel $10,000 in student loans for millions of debt-saddled former college students. 'That's right, whether you're an unemployable gender studies grad or working as a junior associate after a stint at Yale Law, you're $20,000 ahead,' Mr Morrow said. 'The cost to ordinary Americans? Up to $2,000 per head. 'Money which will presumably be collected by Joe Biden's new, expanded, more aggressive IRS. 'Whether it's Trump or DeSantis in 2024 doesn't matter at this stage – the Democrats have just given the Republicans an issue they can run on for a decade.' Would that be because the privileged don't pay tax? 🤷‍♂️ James Morrow. LOL says the Republican party that literally handed out trillions of benefits to mates !!!
