This is such an easy win; it's embarrassing that it hasn't happened yet. WhiskeyGrinder Jan 2022 #3

I agree. The President has done amazingly well, but.. mvd Jan 2022 #6

It's not an easy win. W_HAMILTON Jan 2022 #7

Let it get challenged then and make sure there's an income cap, better than nothing IMHO uponit7771 Jan 2022 #8

I think that's a good response. mvd Jan 2022 #11

absolutely agree with an income cap Celerity Jan 2022 #22

It is an easy win and worrying about what Republicans say about things is a great way to get WhiskeyGrinder Jan 2022 #9

I worry more about what supposed allies like yourself would say. W_HAMILTON Jan 2022 #12

Touche! And you're right -- I would be disappointed if it were only $10K. But I am a firm believer WhiskeyGrinder Jan 2022 #14

There's a difference in appropriately pushing people and constantly criticizing them. W_HAMILTON Jan 2022 #17

He's already forgiven billions in targeted student loans. I'm sure they have a handle on what to do Celerity Jan 2022 #18

"He's already forgiven billions," but you think he's ignoring the issue? Help me out here. Hekate Jan 2022 #23

he did small, targeted moves that only affected a very small percentage of borrowers Celerity Jan 2022 #29

He's moved on loans where he could, where he had clear authority. maxsolomon Jan 2022 #28

No, he can do it via EO, many legal experts support that stance, as do many Dems in congress Celerity Jan 2022 #30

Facts aren't FUD maxsolomon Jan 2022 #41

As I said to another poster, I am now on the 'he will not even try to do it' camp for the first time Celerity Jan 2022 #42

Beyond what he has been forgiven via EO requires legislation? PortTack Jan 2022 #16

No, it doesn't require legislation. It all stems from the same executive power he forgave via thsoe Celerity Jan 2022 #19

He should wait LetsGoBiden Jan 2022 #20

TBH, I do not think he is going to do it. First time I have crossed the 50/50 line. Celerity Jan 2022 #21

I very much liked the way he called out the REPUBLICANS IN THE SENATE & quoted Sununu... Hekate Jan 2022 #24

I refuse to buy into your framing and attempts to subject slide. He did not answer a simple question Celerity Jan 2022 #31

And I refuse to buy into your framing Hekate Jan 2022 #34

Then we agree to disagree. Celerity Jan 2022 #36

Indeed we do Hekate Jan 2022 #37

Every so often I look up people's profiles & I see you reside in Stockholm, Sweden... Hekate Jan 2022 #25

Millennials and Gen Zers are an international set due to growing up with the internet Sympthsical Jan 2022 #32

Intriguing, but do they affect the voting habits of Americans? Hekate Jan 2022 #35

I have explained my background on many occasions. I was born in the US (Los Angeles) to foreign Celerity Jan 2022 #33
