President Joe Biden announced another round of student loan forgiveness, this time for public employees, but critics quickly slammed him on social media.
Biden promised student loan forgiveness during his 2016 presidential campaign, but court challenges have hampered his efforts to redistribute debt without Congressional approval. On Friday, he said his administration was able to adjust the new benefits.
“They learned that they didn't have to be responsible for themselves and that someone else would pay for them, and they became devoted slaves.”
“The 55,000 public servants approved for debt forgiveness today are workers who have dedicated their lives to serving their communities. Now, they are finally getting the relief they are entitled to under the law. “I'm doing it.” read Messages attributed to Biden on social media.
The announcement was immediately criticized on social media.
“Why should the 87% of Americans who do not have student loans be forced to repay those who do have student loans? This is not loan 'forgiveness'. It’s a redistribution of debt.” answered Alabama Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville.
“It's true that they don't earn anything at all. They learn that they don't have to be responsible for themselves, that someone else will pay for them, and they make themselves devoted slaves. .” answered Financial writer Porter Stansbury.
“Those running the Biden administration are trying to hand out cash to government union members in violation of federal law. This is a crime.” claimed Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch.
“Thus, people who did not attend college, waitresses, plumbers, electricians, construction workers, small business owners, and, by Harris's own admission, subsidized the educational loans of government bureaucrats who did not require a college degree.” You have to pay for it.’ What are their jobs? ” read Another popular reaction.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that one of Biden's student loan forgiveness plans will contribute to a 27% budget shortfall.
