    It also doesn’t cover certain student loans.

    I have loans from the early 2000’s via Navient. Because the “loans” were structured differently in 2000 or whatever, none of the “plans” that will wipe away any of the rest of my debt apply to me. So, no matter what, I’m stuck paying the rest of it, because somehow “these loans are just different.”

    It’s a load of fucking bollocks. I’m broke as shit and I don’t have money to be pissing away on these old loans that are 90% paid off. I would have technically had loan discharge from nearly all the things he’s done to discharge student loan debt, but SOMEHOW not a single one has applied to my loans, and everyone I have talked to tells me “Welp, too bad for you.”

      Yeah, but that means you’re gen x…

      If you haven’t noticed, Biden is just throwing crumbs to demographics he’s doing terrible with. Hell, as soon as this was posted someone commented that now everyone who got it has to vote for Biden.

      It’s why there’s nationwide problems with infrastructure like internet and safe water, but Biden is just trying to help a few red states he has a chance of winning. Everyone else can fuck off.

      Biden is doing terrible with millennials, so he’s going to keep tossing crumbs hoping it will buy votes in November. His campaign thinks people wont expect him to give up as soon as the election is over.

      It’s the neoliberals life cycle. The only time shit gets done is the last year of the first term.

        Technically, I’m a millennial, but I get what you’re saying.
