Uh oh! The left isn't going to like this one....
Although one of Joe Biden's campaign promises was to get rid of student loan debt, he completely ditched the proposed plan from Democrats this week.
“The idea that you go to Penn and you’re paying a total of 70,000 bucks a year and the public should pay for that? I don’t agree,” Biden said on May 20.
That's not what he was saying on the campaign trail!
Breitbart reports:
The report of Biden reneging on his campaign promise to cancel $10,000 in school loans may infuriate the likes of Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, along with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (R-NY), who have pushed Biden to forgive up to $50,000 in debt.
“We’ve got the *Senate Majority Leader* on board to forgive $50k. Biden’s holding back, but many of the arguments against it just don’t hold water on close inspection,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.
“Canceling student loan debt is the single most effective executive action that President Biden can take to kickstart this economy,” Warren has said.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki stated in March Biden was “exploring options” about canceling student loan debt.
“The President continues to call on Congress to cancel $10,000 in debt for student loan borrowers,” Psaki said. “That’s something Congress could take an action on, and he’d be happy to sign.”
Why should tax payers have to float the bill for people who decided to go to college rather than learn a trade? It's not our fault they chose to spend thousands of dollars to further their education.
I am not talking down on furthering your education. I am simply stating that if you do, that falls squarely on your shoulders. Not America's.
