(Albuquerque, NM) — President Biden is still promoting his administration’s student loan debt relief program as the midterm elections are less than a week away. While campaigning for Democrats in New Mexico, Biden said more than 40-million Americans stand to benefit from the program and nearly 26-million have already applied for forgiveness. Recent polls show Americans don’t really want their money given to pay for other people’s college loans. (https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/meetthepressblog/voters-split-student-loan-forgiveness-new-poll-shows-rcna48490). The plan includes canceling ten-thousand dollars for most student loan borrowers and up to 20-thousand for those who received pell grants. The President was recently caught lying about how the plan came about, claiming falsely that Congress passed it by a ‘couple of votes’, when there was never a vote; He used an executive order. The debt relief is temporarily on hold as legal challenges play out. Republicans argue Biden overstepped his authority with the program.
Biden continues to push student loan cancellation that he lied about passing Congress and, really, Americans don’t want.
