    This is literally provably false. Biden, for all his faults, pushed through a student loan cancelation program.

    It was blocked by the Trump controlled Supreme Court.

    Elections matter. If Trump didn’t put 3 Supreme Court justices in place to block it people would be better off.

    Don’t both sides this. It might make you feel smart but it results in harm.

      There’s an argument to be made that Biden only pushed that stuff through knowing it’d get blocked. Long time tactic by politicians to introduce big things to look good when they know it’ll fail, yet it’s rarely introduced during times when they had full control.

        I mean you can make an argument, but I think the burden of proof would be on you there.

        The last time the Dems had control they passed the ACA.
