    This is literally provably false. Biden, for all his faults, pushed through a student loan cancelation program.

    It was blocked by the Trump controlled Supreme Court.

    lol.

      You might be privileged or young enough where you didn’t have to think about it but yah. You could literally sign up. The program was up and running. Many of my friends signed up and were happy and excited.

      Only after it was up and running was it shut down. So yah. Biden did push it through. And yah. The Trump Supreme Court did stop it.

        And the end result is it didn’t happen, so how is he wrong that it won’t happen? Supreme Court hasn’t changed.

          Because Justices will get old and die. Or they’ll retire and be replaced by someone younger. If it’s a Democrat in the White House, when that happens, we get to push the court leftward. If it’s a Republican, it goes rightward. Thomas and Alito retiring and being replaced by someone 30 years younger solidifies a right-wing majority for decades.
