MSNBC's Mehdi Hasan says President Biden needs to cancel student debt ASAP because elections are coming

President Biden had been in office only 10 days when he got lit up on Twitter over a tweet from the DNC saying that Biden would “build on the $600 down payment provided by Congress last year, sending an additional $1,400 to households across America.” That did not fly with Biden voters who clearly heard him say that if Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock won their Senate races, $2,000 checks would go “out the door.” A month later, Biden ignored Fox News’ Peter Doocy when asked about those checks and if they were still on their way out the door.

It might seem like Biden is a hit with young adults, but he hasn’t made good on his promise to cancel student debt, and MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan says Biden had better cancel it ASAP judging from his latest approval numbers with young people.

Joe Biden's approval ratings with 18-30 year olds has dropped 25 percentage points since January 2021, per Gallup. This is the biggest drop of any age group – and an age group that helped Dems win the House in 2018 and 2020.

Biden needs to cancel student debt ASAP.

A.S.A.P.

That’s putting it pretty plainly. Cancel student debt to win the 2022 elections.

As I wrote here, canceling student debt is highly regressive and burdens taxpayers to mostly help the affluent.

Happy to have a civil debate with you on this any time. https://t.co/hx49BbFitl

If there was any doubt that this was all just about buying votes to try and stop the red wave…https://t.co/iO6RMXBgUL

Tomorrow we’re going to get CPI numbers that show the worst inflation in decades.

Biden’s plan?

To make it worse by paying for rich kids’ useless grad degrees.

Unbelievablehttps://t.co/ElJErXy7nF

Not hiding the ball.

Literally, using our tax money to pay someone else’s bills for his political gain.

Um, it is slowly, slowly dawning on them that they were played for five years. Their present is mortgaged and their future has been destroyed by the people they trusted the most – and it was all lies.

I hope they are mad as hell.

The Dem playbook is to PROMISE to cancel student debt but never do it.

Politicians have to have a carrot for the voters. If they give up the carrot, the voters will have no reason to vote for them in the future.

AND THEN… he will pay for illegal immigrants’ useless college degrees.

This “forgiveness” will overwhelmingly go to those who lean towards the Democrat party. Those who go after useless degrees, like gender studies and indigenous cultures, and wind up going to school forever!

It’s not my family’s fault you got a degree which doesn’t enable you to earn enough to pay back the loan. That’s on you. We scrimped and saved to pay for ours and our children’s. Ediucate yourself on ROI and choose your uni wisely. IOW, suck it.

Imagine being a trucker, plumber, or construction worker being forced to pay the college debt of the useless liberal class who, for the most part, either look down on you or hate you.

They’ll blame the cost of tuition on “Putin’s price hike” and say there’s nothing they can do about it.
