U.S. President Joe Biden plans to announce on Wednesday that his administration has approved an additional $9 billion in student debt relief for 125,000 borrowers, the White House said.
Biden has said he will pursue new measures to provide student loan relief to Americans after the Supreme Court blocked his plan to cancel hundreds of billions of dollars in debt.
The president’s announcement, planned for 1 p.m. EDT at the White House, will bring the total approved debt cancellation by the Biden administration to $127 billion for nearly 3.6 million Americans, the White House said.
cool, how about a living wage tho
That’s not his job, that’s congress’s job. He can propose a bill, but wtf is the point when the house doesn’t even have a speaker and the current majority hasn’t brought a single bill to the floor for a vote.
Fight to put a solid majority of Dems in Congress, and you’ll get that. President can’t constitutionally do that.

You can tell these complaints are straight outta Beijing and Moscow because they literally cannot comprehend that the state leader can’t just do shit unilaterally
I just wonder why Lemmy of all places.
Large number of instances run by tankies. Lemmy basically became “left”-wing voat in a few of the less entry level instances.
I always try to forget tankies exist. Makes sense, sadly.
