"SNIP......

“Senate Minority Whip John Thune and a group of GOP senators are introducing a bill to ban President Biden from canceling student loan debt, amid news Biden is considering doing just that,” Fox News reports.

“The bill would also limit how long the administration can pause student debt payments and add congressional oversight to the process.”

Please proceed. Even the Democrats will have a hard time messing up presenting you as the party of oppression for this year's election.

boogeyman from getting something for free.

They would be happy to pay student loans for 30 years if it meant a black family was stuck paying for college.

The beauty of being an idiot is that you don't know you're punishing yourself when you're punishing others.

I've heard them grumbling about doing it on their own not getting refunds while others get something for free.

They're just hateful pricks - which is likely a result of poor education and no interest in obtaining one.
