Pay attention to student loans
Clay Jones
President Joe Biden’s administration made two significant moves this week on student loans; on Monday, the administration announced a new student loan forgiveness plan targeting borrowers most in need and on Friday, it announced that through existing programs, a total of $7.4 billion of student debt would be canceled.
These announcements aren’t happening in a vacuum, opined journalist Jill Filipovic. Republicans have repeatedly blocked Biden’s “efforts to forgive the crushing student loan debt plaguing so many Americans. And that’s a message Biden should run on,” Filipovic wrote. “(E)lections are as much about turnout as party perceptions, and generating turnout requires motivating voters. Who is more motivated? Those who generally oppose student debt relief but probably don’t give it all that much thought? Or those whose lives would be radically changed by it? The Biden administration has a powerful opportunity here. They should maximize it.”
