Biden had a town hall the other day. A girl said young people are crushed by student loan debt and that $50k in student loan forgiveness is needed. She asked Biden how he would make that happen. Biden said and I quote “I will not make that happen.”
It wouldn’t make it through. It could pass the house but not the senate. It takes 60 senators to agree to vote on something and then 50 senators + the VP to pass a vote. That means it would take a 60 democrat senate to pass it and that isn’t going to happen anytime soon. Even with 60 democrats there would still probably be one that would say no. It isn’t going to happen. Just like Medicare for all isn’t going to happen.
I thought they were still trying to push this, has it been shot down?

Yeah, but isn't pelosi still trying to push it through? I guess biden can always veto, but I don't see that happening.
