The Supreme Court recently ruled that it would not lift the pause on President Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan, which was introduced in 2023 to provide debt relief to millions of borrowers. Despite the setback, the Biden administration contends that they will keep pushing for lower repayment options for borrowers. What are your thoughts?

I love how some people think that those who took out student loans don’t benefit them. Be sure to tell that to the teacher who’s educating your kids, or the nurses or doctors who nurse you or your family back to health, and better yet, the banker who went into college to be able to properly invest and reconcile your money when you deposit it into your bank account.

I hate when people say, “He didn’t do what he said he was going to do.” People don’t understand how the government works. Biden’s plans can’t go anywhere when the Supreme Court is full of Republicans.

Another failed policy idea by Biden. I know the truth upsets people. We have horrible choices to make in November. Trump or Harris. I say it’s time to negotiate. I want the migrants gone and for America to stop funding Israel. I want something done that benefits the Black community. If you can’t offer that, you can’t get my vote. I might have to sit this one out after voting 40 years as a Democrat.

This is why Kamala has to win and get control of the House and Senate. That way, she’ll be able to expand the Supreme Court with three Democrats.

The Supreme Court is majority Republican. We need to get them out – if Trump wins, it will forever be blocked.
