    As a senator, Biden backed multiple pieces of legislation that unintentionally exacerbated the student loan crisis. These laws facilitated the growth of student loan borrowing, often increasing borrowers’ monthly payments and making these loans tougher to discharge in bankruptcy.

    Yes literally what I said. Cherrypicking lmao. If you want to learn something:

    How Biden helped create the student debt problem he now promises to fix:

    “Biden was one of the most powerful people who could have said no, who could have changed this. Instead he used his leadership role to limit the ability of other Democrats who had concerns and who wanted the bill softened,” said Melissa Jacoby, a law professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill specialising in bankruptcy

      Oh, I’m afraid you misunderstood. I was doing you the respect of including what you were talking about along with the context for it, because you aren’t wrong that Biden contributed to the problem. But you are very wrong that he’s exacerbating it now.

      But hey, the difference between then and now, true and false, right and wrong - why should any of that bother you? You’ve got an agenda to push! 🤡
