February 17, 20214 yr Author Good. Quote Biden dismisses a Democratic plan to wipe out $50,000 in federal student-loan debt President Joe Biden on Tuesday evening effectively rejected a Democratic plan put forward by Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Schumer to wipe out up to $50,000 in student-loan debt per borrower. Instead, he said he backed a measure to provide up to $10,000 in forgiveness. "I will not make that happen," he said of the $50,000 relief measure. Instead, he told a CNN town-hall audience he believed loan forgiveness "depends on whether or not you go to a private university or a public university." Biden said he was reluctant to forgive debt for people who attended elite institutions, listing Harvard University, Yale University, and the University of Pennsylvania as examples. He also said each of his three children graduated with a six-figure debt load and paid it off over time. "I don't think anybody should have to pay for that, but I do think you should be able to work it off," he said. "I understand the impact of the debt, and it can be debilitated." Instead, the president touted a proposal to provide free community college to families earning less than $125,000 a year. "Everyone should be able to go to community college for free," he said. "That costs $9 billion, and we should pay for it." Many Democrats are urging Biden to seek aggressive action to cut student debt. Schumer and Warren introduced their plan earlier this month, selling it as a critical step to rein in inequality and strengthen the economy. "There is very little that the president could do with a flick of a pen that would boost our economy more than canceling $50,000 in student debt," Schumer told reporters. "This is one of those things the president can do on his own." Biden seemed to dispute that idea Tuesday night. "I'm prepared to write off $10,000 in debt, but not 50," he said. "I don't think I have the authority to do it by the sign of a pen." A $10,000 loan-forgiveness measure is not part of Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package, which is making its way through Congress. Biden has ordered the Education Department to pause all federal student-loan payments through September 30 and waive interest. The White House press secretary, Jen Psaki, said at a news conference on February 4 that the Biden administration would favor legislation from Congress to provide loan forgiveness instead of taking executive action. —Jen Psaki (@PressSec) February 4, 2021 The Biden administration said it was reviewing the feasibility of that route.

February 17, 20214 yr I'm not saying he's Jesus or anything but (ok yes I am).... Quote Biden offers to help a mother get a coronavirus vaccine for her immunocompromised son From CNN's Andrea Diaz Source: CNN President Biden offered to personally help a mother worried about getting a coronavirus vaccine for her 19-year-old immunocompromised son with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). "If you're willing, I'll stay around after this is over and maybe we can talk a few minutes and see if I can get you some help," Biden said during the CNN Presidential Town Hall on Tuesday. Kerri Engebrecht, the teen's mom, told Biden that her son was diagnosed with COPD at the age of 14 and he has the lung functioning of a 60-year-old. "He does all he can to protect himself. Last month, he even removed himself from the campus of UW Madison, as he feels it's safer, and he has less exposure here at home. We've tried all we can to get him a vaccine. I hear of others who are less vulnerable, getting it based on far less," Engebrecht said before asking if Biden had a plan to vaccinate those who are most vulnerable sooner. Biden explained that he can't tell the states to prioritize certain group of people, that he can however make certain recommendations, but he would like to help her.
