'Student loan debt is already means-tested by design: the rich have no student debt,' said StrikeDebt. 'We need to cancel all student loan debt.'

"Oh and then also throw everyone who went to a college that cost more than $10,000 under the bus," Fox added.on Twitter late Thursday that it doesn't make political sense for Biden to cancel a small portion of student loan debt, as"Republicans will attack forgiving $10,000 in student debt as voraciously as if Biden canceled all student debt while demoralizing tens of millions who will still be drowning in it.

"If we can bail out banks that destroyed the economy because of their illegal activity," Sanders said,"we can cancel all student debt."

StrikeDebt ✊🏼 No student debt!

Romney rips Biden for considering student loan forgiveness, calling it a ‘bribe’Utah Sen. Mitt Romney ripped the Biden administration for reportedly considering canceling billions in student loan debt. And notably he did not offer any single solution to solve the problem of the federal government’s predatory loan practices. His criticisms are useless without offering a counter solution. I think they should make bankruptcy an option. They may now but I don't think so. War, business bailouts or foreign aid gets a blank check. Anything for tax paying citizens gets red tape and talks of debt

Biden taking 'hard look' at student loan debt but 'not considering' forgiving $50,000 per borrowerPresident Joe Biden said Thursday he's considering ways to deal with reducing student debt burdens, but forgiving $50,000 in loans isn't in the cards. He's dealing with it...you heard him. Doesn't remember his name but is dealing with this. Okay. NOTE: EVERYTHING that POTUS stated to the American people, is a TOTAL lie! The war in Ukraine is NOW America's war. Biden has JUST placed the burden of this war on the backs of hard-working Americans by using our tax dollars to fund it - while people struggle to live! SHAME! Interest rates have kept students in debt longer. They have paid way over what the education cost, which was also high. And they don’t make the salary to catch up. At least knock off all that interest paid extra that’s weighed them down. Rs tax break for wealthy was a payoff
