Republicans hate Biden’s student debt plan, and know they can count on the Supreme Court to end it
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is still exploring ways to make himself even more unpopular with the general public. This time around, it’s about student loan debt forgiveness. He knows just how to do it, too: by using the U.S. Supreme Court.
Cruz immediately targeted President Joe Biden’s debt forgiveness plan, for the most obvious of reasons—it’s popular with voters and poses a “real risk” of driving turnout for Democrats in November. He had to say it in the most despicable way possible, too. “If you are that slacker barista who wasted seven years in college studying completely useless things, now has loans and can't get a job, Joe Biden just gave you 20 grand. [...] You know, maybe you weren't gonna vote in November, and suddenly you just got 20 grand.” All they have to do, he said, is “get off the bong for a minute and head down to the voting station.”
