    Anyone who claims to be on the left who is coming out against Biden's potential $50,000 student loan forgiveness plan is not in fact a leftist but a poseur playing at being on the left.

        The sole objection is that standing alone, the policy does little to help the bottom 40% of incomes. But in fact it's hard to implement a genuine anti-poverty program without the appropriations power!!

        Right--the president is very limited! Plus debt default is far higher among trade school and community college attendees than those at 4-year colleges.

        As long as it's not treated as income, otherwise the tax bill will be another albatross around debtors' necks.

        Income tax is dischargeable in Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Student debt is not.

        Or, like me, believes that it does not sufficiently address the problem and will blunt any further efforts to fix it

        The notion that relieving 50 fucking thousand dollars in student debt is blunting a larger bill has to be one of the most absurd things I’ve ever heard in my entire life

        It's Schumer's plan, not to the best of anyone's knowledge Biden's.
