President Biden is inching closer to "forgiving" student loansa move that is not only illegal but profoundly unfair to hardworking taxpayers, most of whom never went to college. Others who did go made sacrifices to pay off their loans and are now deeply resentful that a swath of borrowers may have their debts cleared. Now we know why President Biden is actually entertaining such a foolish idea to cancel up to $10,000 of debt per borrower.

According to a conversation between The Washington Post's James Hohmann and The Bulwark's Charlie Sykes, Georgia Democrats Stacey Abrams and Raphael Warnock are putting tremendous pressure on the administration to move on student loan "forgiveness." Abrams argues it's the only way to get the base to turn out.

James Hohmann: Stacey Abrams has been browbeating the White House on this, and says that this is the only way she could win that this is going to be a base turnout election. This isn't about persuading people in the middle, it's about getting the base to turn out. And the base isn't going to turn out if they don't do this, and that they have all sorts of stats about how a lot of graduates from HBCUs have all this debt. And so there are a lot of people very close to the president who privately understand that this is a complete disaster for them. But the president is being pulled really hard by these woke leftists who … believe it's all about the base. They just don't get it because they haven't spent time in the WOW counties or in Apple Valley, Minnesota.

My understanding is that Biden cannot EO a directive to erase student debt, a bill would have to pass congress. Hell, who knows anymore?

The fact that all Abrams cares about is how she thinks it will impact her election. She couldn't care less about the policy or societal ramifications or it's legality.

Just like getting Biden into the White House, all that matters is the next election. The ends justify the means, no matter how wrong or harmful or devious the path.

He has already done it foe several different groups. It's all bull****, but gop isn't challenging him. If I was him I would forgive it all about a week before the election.

Sounds to me like Abrams is playing the reparations card from her angle.

50% of student loan debt is to graduate students. It's a bailout of Elite white liberals.
