A House Democratic staff member was ripped for thanking President Biden after his student loan debt was canceled on Wednesday. Ben Kamens, communications director for Ohio Rep. Marcy Kaptur, posted on his X account that he had been informed his student loan debt was officially canceled. 'Just got a call to let me know my student debt has been canceled. This is why elections matter. Thanks @JoeBiden,' Kamens wrote along with a photo of his notice.
Kamens’ post quickly went viral as people attacked the idea of paying off a public employee's debt. 'Your tax $ were already paying this DC Staffer’s student loans off for him while he works on Capitol Hill. Now, you paid them off completely, whether he works or not. And, he may just start taking more classes, which you will then pay for as well. This is why elections matter,' former Virginia Rep. Scott Taylor said.
