Elizabeth Warren Really Wants Joe Biden To Cancel Student Loan Debt
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) renewed her student loan forgiveness efforts this week, arguing that she and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), another leader in the cancellation fight, “are pushing hard to try to get it done.”
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) renewed her student loan forgiveness efforts this week, arguing that she and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), another leader in the cancellation fight, “are pushing hard to try to get it done.”
Warren and Schumer have been the kingpins among the Democratic Party to push President Joe Biden to unilaterally cut up to $50,000 in federal student loan debt per borrower. Warren resurfaced the initiative on Thursday as the White House is still undergoing a review of the president’s “legal authority” to implement that large of a student loan cancellation measure.
As per their inclination, progressives and their media lapdogs have created a new term to paper over a genuine problem, one that may prove to be quite deleterious for a Biden administration dedicated to the idea that America is a systemically racist nation requiring a wholesale overhaul â by any means necessary.
The term is âvaccine hesitation,â and itâs being used to play down the reality that âcommunities of colorâ are hesitant to get vaccinated.

President Joe Biden addressed a joint session of Congress last week for the first time, where he called on Democrats and Republicans to pass his ambitious proposals that inject federal funds into infrastructure and a number of family-related policies. Since then, the president, first lady Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and other key players in the infrastructure and jobs fight have been traveling across the country in efforts to sell the administration’s big-spending plans.
This week, the Texas House Committee on Public Education dealt what might be a fatal blow to a bill that would have mandated trans athletes compete only in sports that corresponded to the gender they were assigned at birth. The bill was voted down by the committee, leaving it unlikely that it will be passed in the brief time left in the 87th Legislative Session.
“We thank the members of the House Public Education committee for their votes today against SB 29, but still do not understand why some in the legislature would go out of their way to hurt anyone’s kids?” said Zeph Capo, president of the Texas branch of the American Federation of Teachers, in a statement. “We did the right thing today for all the children of Texas by standing up for trans kids.”
