HouseDemocrats & SenateDems were 100% in control for two years. They could have given free college… but chose not to. Proving, they will promise anything for your vote and not deliver, even when they have the power and ruling majority. 🤷🏻♀️
Rich wanting more
these opinions are hysterical to me. they claim its to get votes. so the people want it that's why they'd vote for them. how can they not connect the 2?
They always block everything except for guns and money
Oh how some people just hate any assistance to those in need.
wwffcc2 Good.. I paid my loans and taxpayers should NOT be saddled with the loans others took out.
It's a bad idea and poorly thought out.
Great the only thing I like about Joe.

Good Ukraine needs the money more
Uh, yeah.
ABC = Against Basic Sense since they have moved right.
As they should. You agreed to a debt you pay for your debt. Ppl are insane to think otherwise. Why not relieve all the mortgages why were at it. Everything is free nothing can go wrong with that…. 🙄
Of course... the only debt that should be forgiven are millionaires and politicians. =)
The only priority for Republicans is to give the wealth of America to their rich friends, supporters and corporations. They couldn't care less about working Americans! It's sickening!
16,000,000 million students outnumber 171 Repugs. Names and addresses?
While same republicans will push for tax cuts for the top 1%
Losers who can’t stand to help their fellow man.
This should be their top things to do instead they are telling their constituents they could careless about them that the beholding to the banks and the wealthy as if the rest of us forgot! Now that's some funny shit. We will remember in November!!
We know by now that if it’s good for Americans, the republicans are against it.
“Political gambit…special interest groups…shameful…” Meaningless buzzwords from Republicans who, as always, oppose any kind of relief for working Americans. Republicans are the enemy.
The comments supporting this Republican move beggars belief. Cold war propaganda really has done a number on these people. Good night and good luck.
The law is clear. SecEd has the authority to forgive student loans during a crisis.
All Republicans should show their federal tax return so we see how much tax credit they get for their kids’s school and how much they pay income tax!
