How about 100 billion to Americans struggling or cancel some student loans. We can't have affordable healthcare. But we can keep sending billions to other country.

How about you tax billionaires and do both.
Yeah that's ideal but if we can only have one, this is by far the less popular of the options
You mean that other initiative he's been working on that the Republicans have been fighting tooth and nail against?
That would cover about 5% of all student loan debt.
What's the difference between a billion and a trillion?
About a trillion.
Current US student debt: $1.77 trillion.
Biden: "Hey! Stop the genocide of those Palestinians!"
Also Biden: "By the way, here's $10 billion"
100 billion. One hundred billion dollars.
The article said most will go to Ukraine, with $10 billion for Israel.
it should all go to Ukraine in my opinion
This report says $40 billion of the $100 billion. The dollar amount doesn’t matter. At the end of the day the US doesn’t have a nationwide healthcare system and 18% of the population is in some sort of housing insecurity.
How about domestic aid
He is fucking funding Israel but can't make student loan forgiveness or covid relief a thing.
I fucking hate The Party...
He had a student loan forgiveness program last year that Republicans blockaded...
No, no, shh, everything is biden's fault and we are all going to throw a tantrum about it
Isn't it convenient how that's always the case.
The Party is The Party. It never changes. And people keep voting for them.
ROCK THE VOTE! MTV told me it does something so it must be true!
The SAVE plan is a huge improvement for addressing student debt long term and they are still perusing other means for loan forgiveness.
30+ years of voting for change, only to be massively outvoted by partisans and morons every single time.
The parties, because both are shit
Correct your self. We fucking all hate Republicans and Democrats.
Yes. Republicans and Democrats. The Party.
Gotta say it the long way or else!
Nope.
Refuse to act like they are different things.
In case anyone is wondering, that’s $300 for every man, woman, and child in the United States. Not just tax payers, every single person
Or about $12 for every single person in the entire world.
On a separate note, war machines are very expensive and definitely overpriced.
If my government could just give every American just 0.0000005% of that most people would be in a mich better place economically and mentally in this country.
About 300 million US citizens so that's $333. Less than the stimulus checks the first 2 years of covid
The problem is always that we small people never have the big picture of such things. Sure, 100 billion is much, but one never gives money for free. There is something about it that will give USA as a country a huge advantage.
Give everyone 5k? Like more Biden bucks?
