    Ftrst let's point out the hypocrisy of treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans screaming about more than 44 million Americans getting some help with their student loans by having between $10,000 and $20,000 forgiven. We sure didn't see treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans screaming about the $32 billion Trump gave to farmers for his disastrous trade war. We didn't see treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans screaming about 94% of small business having their PPP loans forgiven. And we sue didn't see treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans screaming about giving rich people $1.9 TRILLION in tax breaks and racking up a trillion dollar budget deficit before anyone even heard of COVID.

    They only scream when God forbid something is gong to help poor and middle class Americans.

    FACT SHEET: President Biden Announces Student Loan Relief for Borrowers Who Need It Most
    August 24, 2022 • Statements and Releases
    A three-part plan delivers on President Biden’s promise to cancel $10,000 of student debt for low- to middle-income borrowers

    President Biden believes that a post-high school education should be a ticket to a middle-class life, but for too many, the cost of borrowing for college is a lifelong burden that deprives them of that opportunity. During the campaign, he promised to provide student debt relief. Today, the Biden Administration is following through on that promise and providing families breathing room as they prepare to start re-paying loans after the economic crisis brought on by the pandemic.

    Since 1980, the total cost of both four-year public and four-year private college has nearly tripled, even after accounting for inflation. Federal support has not kept up: Pell Grants once covered nearly 80 percent of the cost of a four-year public college degree for students from working families, but now only cover a third. That has left many students from low- and middle-income families with no choice but to borrow if they want to get a degree. According to a Department of Education analysis, the typical undergraduate student with loans now graduates with nearly $25,000 in debt.

    [​IMG]
    The skyrocketing cumulative federal student loan debt—$1.6 trillion and rising for more than 45 million borrowers—is a significant burden on America’s middle class. Middle-class borrowers struggle with high monthly payments and ballooning balances that make it harder for them to build wealth, like buying homes, putting away money for retirement, and starting small businesses.

    For the most vulnerable borrowers, the effects of debt are even more crushing. Nearly one-third of borrowers have debt but no degree, according to an analysis by the Department of Education of a recent cohort of undergraduates. Many of these students could not complete their degree because the cost of attendance was too high. About 16% of borrowers are in default – including nearly a third of senior citizens with student debt – which can result in the government garnishing a borrower’s wages or lowering a borrower’s credit score. The student debt burden also falls disproportionately on Black borrowers. Twenty years after first enrolling in school, the typical Black borrower who started college in the 1995-96 school year still owed 95% of their original student debt.

    Today, President Biden is announcing a three-part plan to provide more breathing room to America’s working families as they continue to recover from the strains associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. This plan offers targeted debt relief as part of a comprehensive effort to address the burden of growing college costs and make the student loan system more manageable for working families. The President is announcing that the Department of Education will:

    • Provide targeted debt relief to address the financial harms of the pandemic, fulfilling the President’s campaign commitment. The Department of Education will provide up to $20,000 in debt cancellation to Pell Grant recipients with loans held by the Department of Education, and up to $10,000 in debt cancellation to non-Pell Grant recipients. Borrowers are eligible for this relief if their individual income is less than $125,000 ($250,000 for married couples). No high-income individual or high-income household – in the top 5% of incomes – will benefit from this action. To ensure a smooth transition to repayment and prevent unnecessary defaults, the pause on federal student loan repayment will be extended one final time through December 31, 2022. Borrowers should expect to resume payment in January 2023.
    • Make the student loan system more manageable for current and future borrowers by:
      • Cutting monthly payments in half for undergraduate loans. The Department of Education is proposing a new income-driven repayment plan that protects more low-income borrowers from making any payments and caps monthly payments for undergraduate loans at 5% of a borrower’s discretionary income—half of the rate that borrowers must pay now under most existing plans. This means that the average annual student loan payment will be lowered by more than $1,000 for both current and future borrowers.
      • Fixing the broken Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program by proposing a rule that borrowers who have worked at a nonprofit, in the military, or in federal, state, tribal, or local government, receive appropriate credit toward loan forgiveness. These improvements will build on temporary changes the Department of Education has already made to PSLF, under which more than 175,000 public servants have already had more than $10 billion in loan forgiveness approved.
    • Protect future students and taxpayers by reducing the cost of college and holding schools accountable when they hike up prices. The President championed the largest increase to Pell Grants in over a decade and one of the largest one-time influxes to colleges and universities. To further reduce the cost of college, the President will continue to fight to double the maximum Pell Grant and make community college free. Meanwhile, colleges have an obligation to keep prices reasonable and ensure borrowers get value for their investments, not debt they cannot afford. This Administration has already taken key steps to strengthen accountability, including in areas where the previous Administration weakened rules. The Department of Education is announcing new efforts to ensure student borrowers get value for their college costs.
    Provide Targeted Debt Relief, Fulfilling the President’s Campaign Commitment

    To address the financial harms of the pandemic for low- and middle-income borrowers and avoid defaults as loan repayment restarts next year, the Department of Education will provide up to $20,000 in loan relief to borrowers with loans held by the Department of Education whose individual income is less than $125,000 ($250,000 for married couples) and who received a Pell Grant. Nearly every Pell Grant recipient came from a family that made less than $60,000 a year, and Pell Grant recipients typically experience more challenges repaying their debt than other borrowers. Borrowers who meet those income standards but did not receive a Pell Grant in college can receive up to $10,000 in loan relief.

    [​IMG]
    The Pell Grant program is one of America’s most effective financial aid programs—but its value has been eroded over time. Pell Grant recipients are more than 60% of the borrower population. The Department of Education estimates that roughly 27 million borrowers will be eligible to receive up to $20,000 in relief, helping these borrowers meet their economic potential and avoid economic harm from the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Current students with loans are eligible for this debt relief. Borrowers who are dependent students will be eligible for relief based on parental income, rather than their own income.

    If all borrowers claim the relief they are entitled to, these actions will:

    • Provide relief to up to 43 million borrowers, including cancelling the full remaining balance for roughly 20 million borrowers.
    • Target relief dollars to low- and middle-income borrowers. The Department of Education estimates that, among borrowers who are no longer in school, nearly 90% of relief dollars will go to those earning less than $75,000 a year. No individual making more than $125,000 or household making more than $250,000 – the top 5% of incomes in the United States – will receive relief.
    • Help borrowers of all ages. The Department of Education estimates that, among borrowers who are eligible for relief, 21% are 25 years and under and 44% are ages 26-39. More than a third are borrowers age 40 and up, including 5% of borrowers who are senior citizens.
    • Advance racial equity. By targeting relief to borrowers with the highest economic need, the Administration’s actions are likely to help narrow the racial wealth gap. Black students are more likely to have to borrow for school and more likely to take out larger loans. Black borrowers are twice as likely to have received Pell Grants compared to their white peers. Other borrowers of color are also more likely than their peers to receive Pell Grants. That is why an Urban Institute study found that debt forgiveness programs targeting those who received Pell Grants while in college will advance racial equity.
    [​IMG]
    The Department of Education will work quickly and efficiently to set up a simple application process for borrowers to claim relief. The application will be available no later than when the pause on federal student loan repayments terminates at the end of the year. Nearly 8 million borrowers may be eligible to receive relief automatically because their relevant income data is already available to the Department.

    Thanks to the American Rescue Plan, this debt relief will not be treated as taxable income for the federal income tax purposes.

    To help ensure a smooth transition back to repayment, the Department of Education is extending the student loan pause a final time through December 31, 2022. No one with federally-held loans has had to pay a single dollar in loan payments since President Biden took office.

    Make the Student Loan System More Manageable for Current and Future Borrowers

    Fixing Existing Loan Repayment to Lower Monthly Payments

    The Administration is reforming student loan repayment plans so both current and future low- and middle-income borrowers will have smaller and more manageable monthly payments.

    The Department of Education has the authority to create income-driven repayment plans, which cap what borrowers pay each month based on a percentage of their discretionary income. Most of these plans cancel a borrower’s remaining debt once they make 20 years of monthly payments. But the existing versions of these plans are too complex and too limited. As a result, millions of borrowers who might benefit from them do not sign up, and the millions who do sign up are still often left with unmanageable monthly payments.

    To address these concerns and follow through on Congress’ original vision for income-driven repayment, the Department of Education is proposing a rule to do the following:

    • For undergraduate loans, cut in half the amount that borrowers have to pay each month from 10% to 5% of discretionary income.
    • Raise the amount of income that is considered non-discretionary income and therefore is protected from repayment, guaranteeing that no borrower earning under 225% of the federal poverty level—about the annual equivalent of a $15 minimum wage for a single borrower—will have to make a monthly payment.
    • Forgive loan balances after 10 years of payments, instead of 20 years, for borrowers with original loan balances of $12,000 or less. The Department of Education estimates that this reform will allow nearly all community college borrowers to be debt-free within 10 years.
    • Cover the borrower’s unpaid monthly interest, so that unlike other existing income-driven repayment plans, no borrower’s loan balance will grow as long as they make their monthly payments—even when that monthly payment is $0 because their income is low.
    These reforms would simplify loan repayment and deliver significant savings to low- and middle-income borrowers. For example:

    • A typical single construction worker (making $38,000 a year) with a construction management credential would pay only $31 a month, compared to the $147 they pay now under the most recent income-driven repayment plan, for annual savings of nearly $1,400.
    • A typical single public school teacher with an undergraduate degree (making $44,000 a year) would pay only $56 a month on their loans, compared to the $197 they pay now under the most recent income-driven repayment plan, for annual savings of nearly $1,700.
    • A typical nurse (making $77,000 a year) who is married with two kids would pay only $61 a month on their undergraduate loans, compared to the $295 they pay now under the most recent income-driven repayment plan, for annual savings of more than $2,800.
    [​IMG]
    For each of these borrowers, their balances would not grow as long as they are making their monthly payments, and their remaining debt would be forgiven after they make the required number of qualifying payments.

    Further, the Department of Education will make it easier for borrowers who enroll in this new plan to stay enrolled. Starting in the summer of 2023, borrowers will be able to allow the Department of Education to automatically pull their income information year after year, avoiding the hassle of needing to recertify their income annually.

    Ensuring Public Servants Receive Credit Toward Loan Forgiveness

    Borrowers working in public service are entitled to earn credit toward debt relief under the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program. But because of complex eligibility restrictions, historic implementation failures, and poor counseling given to borrowers, many borrowers have not received the credit they deserve for their public service.

    The Department of Education has announced time-limited changes to PSLF that provide an easier path to forgiveness of all outstanding debt for eligible federal student loan borrowers who have served at a non-profit, in the military, or in federal, state, Tribal, or local government for at least 10 years, including non-consecutively. Those who have served less than 10 years may now more easily get credit for their service to date toward eventual forgiveness. These changes allow eligible borrowers to gain additional credit toward forgiveness, even if they had been told previously that they had the wrong loan type.

    The Department of Education also has proposed regulatory changes to ensure more effective implementation of the PSLF program moving forward. Specifically, the Department of Education has proposed allowing more payments to qualify for PSLF including partial, lump sum, and late payments, and allowing certain kinds of deferments and forbearances, such as those for Peace Corps and AmeriCorps service, National Guard duty, and military service, to count toward PSLF. The Department of Education also proposed to ensure the rules work better for non-tenured instructors whose colleges need to calculate their full-time employment.

    To ensure borrowers are aware of the temporary changes, the White House has launched four PSLF Days of Action dedicated to borrowers in specific sectors: government employees, educators, healthcare workers and first responders, and non-profit employees. You can find out other information about the temporary changes on PSLF.gov. You must apply to PSLF before the temporary changes end on October 31, 2022.

    Protecting Borrowers and Taxpayers from Steep Increases in College Costs

    While providing this relief to low- and middle-income borrowers, the President is focused on keeping college costs under control. Under this Administration, students have had more money in their pockets to pay for college. The President signed the largest increase to the maximum Pell Grant in over a decade and provided nearly $40 billion to colleges and universities through the American Rescue Plan, much of which was used for emergency student financial aid, allowing students to breathe a little easier.

    Additionally, the Department of Education has already taken significant steps to strengthen accountability, so that students are not left with mountains of debt with little payoff. The agency has re-established the enforcement unit in the Office of Federal Student Aid and it is holding accreditors’ feet to the fire. In fact, the Department just withdrew authorization for the accreditor that oversaw schools responsible for some of the worst for-profit scandals. The agency will also propose a rule to hold career programs accountable for leaving their graduates with mountains of debt they cannot repay, a rule the previous Administration repealed.

    Building off of these efforts, the Department of Education is announcing new actions to hold accountable colleges that have contributed to the student debt crisis. These include publishing an annual watch list of the programs with the worst debt levels in the country, so that students registering for the next academic year can steer clear of programs with poor outcomes. They also include requesting institutional improvement plans from the worst actors that outline how the colleges with the most concerning debt outcomes intend to bring down debt levels.

    So tell us, american hater, what's your take on all those Americans who paid off their student debts?
    The families who sacrificed to put their kids through college and didn't strap them with $100,000 debt the day they graduated?
    And who worked their way through college rather than take on debt?
    And did their first year at community college cause it's cheaper and they can stay at home, and then transfer to a state college or university where they get classes taught by hypocritical elites paid $300,000 a year? To teach one class?

    What do you say to them, american hater?

    Only an american hater would support debt relief for students who got a liberal arts education for $100,000 with the best job prospect a $35,000 a year job and no career, who majored in drinking and party for four years, has never had a job, is now brainwashed with liberal communist beliefs and sits on their ass whining that they can't find a job and WHO IS GOING TO FIX THIS!?*

    *See? spewing propaganda isn't hard, one just has to suspend reality for a moment and spew out every exaggerated assumption and media catch phrase they can think of.

    White House reporter blows up at Karine Jean-Pierre for not taking questions
    White House pool reporters have previously complained about Jean-Pierre's handling of briefings
    [​IMG]

    White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre had to shout down a belligerent reporter during her press briefing on Thursday, after the reporter expressed outrage at not being called on.

    The incident occurred in the final minutes of the briefing as Jean-Pierre was attempting to allow another reporter to ask a final question. The frustrated reporter erupted, shouting her own questions over Jean-Pierre's protests.

    "I was supposed to go to Chris in the back and I skipped him, so I'm gonna go back to him," the press secretary said, prompting the shouts.

    "I've been asking you a question for a long time," the second reporter said as the first attempted to begin his question.



    Jean-Pierre then cut her off, saying, "You're not being respectful." "Go ahead," she added, gesturing toward the reporter she called on.

    The other reporter persisted, however, continuing to yell that she had been attempting to ask a question for "more than a week."

    "Respect your colleagues. Respect your colleagues," Jean-Pierre responded. "I'm sorry, Chris, you're going to have to start from the beginning because there was some disrespect happening."

    The female reporter once again shouted over her colleague's question.

    "You're being disrespectful," Jean-Pierre repeated.

    The incident is merely the latest occasion that members of the White House press pool have expressed frustration with Jean-Pierre, who took over from former White House press secretary Jen Psaki earlier this year.

    Several members of the pool complained in July that Jean-Pierre has a tendency to give non-answers or say outright that the White House has no comment on the news of the day.

    "She is poorly received as she isn’t taking time to answer questions or banter with reporters on the issues of the day," one White House reporter said at the time. "A press secretary has to share some information, kind of a give and take, but she just doesn’t appear willing to do that yet… Too often, she is telling reporters that she 'has nothing from the podium' to say, which is a waste of everyone’s time."

    Truth Social Exclusive Event—‘My Son Hunter’ Full Theatrical Trailer Premiere and Panel Discussion at 9PM Tonight with Donald Trump Jr., Robert Davi, Devin Nunes, Peter Schweizer, and Alex Marlow

    JEROME HUDSON25 Aug 2022

    LOS ANGELES, California — The world premiere of the official trailer for the highly anticipated feature film My Son Hunter will stream on Truth Social this Thursday, August 25, 2022, at 9:00 p.m. ET.

    Following the trailer debut, viewers will be treated to an all-star panel discussion hosted by Truth Social CEO and former California congressman Devin Nunes.

    The other panelists are: Donald Trump Jr.; My Son Hunter director Robert Davi (Licensed to Kill, Die Hard, The Goonies); Government Accountability Institute President, Breitbart Senior Contributor, and bestselling author of Red Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win Peter Schweizer; and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow.

    “Truth Social is becoming a go-to platform for promoting entertainment that the establishment doesn’t want you to see or hear,” Breitbart News CEO Larry Solov said in a statement. “Look at what Devin and the gang did with John Rich’s ‘Progress.’ We’re excited to have Don Jr, Peter Schweizer, Robert Davi, and Alex Marlow discuss Big Tech and the establishment media’s efforts to smother the Biden family corruption revelations and premiere the full-length trailer for My Son Hunter on Truth.”

    “Donald Trump Jr. joins the panel with a unique perspective as the son of a president addressing the actions of another son of a president,” a press release for the event says. “Needless to say if this film was about Don Jr. —if he had had a life of cavorting with hookers and smoking crack — it would be on every major news channel in the world. Truth Social, Breitbart, and Unreported Story Society join together to release the trailer of My Son Hunter.”

    My Son Hunter, which marks Breitbart’s expansion into film distribution, is available for PRE-ORDER NOW and will be available for download and streaming starting September 7.

    The film stars Laurence Fox (Victoria, Inspector Lewis, The Professor and the Madman) as Hunter Biden; Gina Carano (The Mandalorian, Dead Pool, Heist) as a Secret Service Agent; and John James (Dynasty) as Joe Biden.

    My Son Hunter follows the “smartest guy” the President of the United States knows as he navigates a tangled web of prostitution, partying, international business dealings, drugs, sex, Chinese spies, a laptop from Hell, Ukrainian oligarchs, more sex, more drugs, and, of course, his responsibilities to the leader of the free world.

    “Working with producers Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney, from a script by Brian Godawa, Davi went to great lengths to create a visually stunning world that presents Hunter Biden on full display – infusing the film with a sense of irony, comedy, and maybe even a tiny bit of dark humanity,” the press release says.

    “In the film, Hunter finds himself doing all the wrong things in all the wrong places with all the wrong people, when he meets a young naive stripper. Grace Anderson (Emma Gojkovic) doesn’t know much about politics, but gets a crash course as she gets closer and closer to the President’s son,” the release continues.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    “My Son Hunter puts the lens squarely on Hunter, his corrupt business dealings, his relationship with his father, and a lifestyle that would make rock stars jealous. But through the haze of a crack pipe and above the din of the parties and the outbursts, somewhere lies the truth – the truth the American people deserve to know,” the press release concludes.

    Two Thirds of Biden Voters Have a Dim View of U.S. Economy
    [​IMG]

    JOHN CARNEY15 Aug 2022

    President Joe Biden’s attempts to talk up the U.S. economy are not convincing many American. Not even his own supporters.

    The most recent polling from the Economist and YouGov shows that 66 percent of Biden voters say the economy is either poor or fair. Only five percent say the economy is excellent and 28 percent describe it as good.

    Forty-three percent of Biden voters say the state of the economy is fair. Twenty-three percent say it is in poor shape.

    Not surprisingly, those who voted for Donald Trump take an even dimmer view of the economy. Seventy-five percent rate the economy as poor.

    Thirty-six percent of Biden’s voters say the economy is in a recession now, versus 87 percent of Trump’s voters and 60 percent of the overall public.

    Forty-two percent of Biden voters say they have felt the impact of inflation a lot, 53 percent say they have felt the impact a little, and just five percent say they have not felt the effects of higher prices.

    Biden voters are not even persuaded the Inflation Reduction Act will work to reduce inflation. Just 24 percent of Biden voters say the law passed on party-line votes by Democrats will decrease inflation. Thirteen percent say it will increase inflation. Thirty-five percent say it will have no effect at all. Twenty-two percent say they are not sure.

    President Joe Biden’s decision to transfer student debt to taxpayers is likely an inflationary, expensive mistake that will leave “American taxpayers footing the bill,” the Washington Post’s Editorial Board wrote Wednesday.

    Citing a study by the American Enterprise Institute published in 2019, WaPo opposed Biden’s decision to transfer student debt because the greatest beneficiaries will be from high-income families. The paper also said the decision will fuel 40-year-high inflation.

    Biden sees highest approval in a year in latest Gallup poll

    President Biden’s approval rating rose to 44 percent during the month of August in a new Gallup poll, the latest sign of the president recovering some ground amid a series of legislative wins and a steady decline in gasoline prices.

    According to the Gallup poll out Thursday, 44 percent of U.S. adults approve of Biden’s handling of his job as president, a clear improvement after his presidential approval rating hit a record low of 38 percent in July.


    While less than the 57 percent approval he enjoyed upon taking office, according to Gallup, Biden’s current approval rating is his highest in a year. He last registered a result higher than this in August 2021, when 49 percent of respondents said they approved of the job he was doing as commander in chief.

    The Gallup survey is the latest in a string of polls suggesting that Biden is recovering in popularity, after about a year during which his approval rating languished in the low 40s and high 30s amid worries about inflation.

    A Morning Consult-Politico poll released on Wednesday, for instance, found that 43 percent of registered voters approve of Biden’s job performance, whereas 55 percent disapprove; earlier in August, 39 percent said they approved and 59 percent disapproved.

    The Gallup survey polled 1,006 U.S. adults between Aug. 1 and 23, a successful period for the Biden presidency.

    In the past month, Biden saw Democrats in Congress finally pass his climate, health care and tax package. A bill to boost the domestic semiconductor industry also passed the House and Senate with bipartisan support.

    Gas prices have steadily declined, an indication of inflation potentially easing. Biden also announced a successful counterterrorism operation that killed al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in Afghanistan earlier this month.


    The uptick in Biden’s approval among voting-age Americans comes at a critical moment as Democrats embark on the final two months of campaigning before the midterm elections.

    There has been a widespread belief that Republicans are likely to win control of at least the House and potentially the Senate, but Biden’s improving poll numbers are likely to offer some new hope to Democrats.

    The president is preparing to promote his accomplishments on the road. The White House on Thursday announcing plans for Biden to travel to Ohio on Sept. 9 to attend the groundbreaking of a new Intel semiconductor facility in Ohio.


    Biden will also appear at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser and rally on Thursday evening to discuss his accomplishments as he seeks to draw a contrast with Republicans.

    So, it's now considered free speech when you try to interfere with another car on the road?

    Cars were not in the Constitution! This couldn't possibly be legal!

      You just destroyed the pretzel logic the religious zealots on the court used to overturn Roe v Wade. That's pretty funny.

    No, I don't remember the video. But you would think that something so central to this story would come with a link to this video...

      Parents endanger their children all the time. Ever hear those stories of toddlers shooting themselves or a sibling?

      Care to share some examples?

      Care to share some examples?

      Both sides do it, but the Democrats do it a lot more. The Democrats in Detroit, Baltimore, Atlanta, Cleveland and Philadelphia who threatened GOP poll watchers and made them leave the polling site. BLM members intimidating store owners, outside diners, restaurant diners and home owners. Maxine Waters telling Democrats to hassle Republican Politicians and judges if they see them outside or in restaurants. The guy who tried to kill the baseball team made up of Republican congressmen.

      Proof? Indictments?

      But it is interesting that the example so you give are of individuals that do not represent the Democrat party.

      There is so much more to say about the Republicans. Every single Republican that has been censured are all directly attacked by the Republican party, with at the states level of the national level. Fall in line of fall of of favor.

    Biden approval skyrockets – now higher than Trump, Obama, Clinton, Carter, or Reagan

    President Joe Biden‘s approval rating in the past month has skyrocketed, jumping six points after massive successes in getting his legislative agenda passed. At 44%, Biden’s approval rating is now higher than the approval ratings of Donald Trump (41%), Barack Obama (43%), Bill Clinton (39%), Jimmy Carter (43%), and Ronald Reagan (41%) at this point in their presidencies.

    The only Presidents who had higher job approval ratings at this point were George W. Bush (65%) and George H.W. Bush (74%), both of whom were engaged in prosecuting wars in the Middle East, and Richard Nixon (55%). Gerald Ford’s was 48% at this point in his presidency, but as an unelected president coming in after the Nixon resignation it’s a difficult comparison to weigh.

    All the approval ratings above come via Gallup’s Presidential Job Approval Center and are based on the current poll number and time period for that poll. Gallup does not publish weekly presidential job numbers any more, so the Biden figure is for August 1-23, 2022. Other presidential numbers are for the polls closest to that date and week number (around 79-84 weeks in office.)

    President Biden has every reason to celebrate the huge jump. In recent months he has become a historic president, battling an opposition party fresh off an attempted coup, with a cultlike leader facing possible criminal charges on a variety of potentially unlawful acts, an evenly-divided Senate, a House with only a modest majority, all at a time of nearly unprecedented crises – domestic, international, and worldwide.

    Despite all that, Biden has racked up big wins on longtime Democratic goals, including taxing corporations and the ultra-wealthy, signing into law the biggest climate change bill in history, making huge inroads on reducing drug prices, working to get what is now a massive reduction in gas prices and stabilization of inflation, helping millions of veterans access care for toxin-based cancers, signing the first major gun control law in decades, maintaining and even reducing historically low unemployment while overseeing historic job and wage growth, signing the first major infrastructure bill in decades, getting America’s first Black woman justice confirmed to the Supreme Court, removing the leader of al Qaeda, strengthening and expanding NATO while supporting Ukraine after Russia attacked the sovereign nation, and more.

    Yesterday, which is not included in the latest Gallup poll period, President Biden announced 20 million Americans will see their student loan debt, between $10,000 (loans) and $20,000 (Pell Grants) forgiven. Despite GOP pushback, and thanks to a White House now on offensive instead of defense, it is proving to be another major win for Biden and the Democrats.

    Florida couple who paid off $190k in student loan debt in 27 months 'angry' over Biden's handout
    Sherman and Cristina Merricks of Gainesville, Florida say they've made 'a ton of sacrifices' to be debt-free

    After President Biden announced a nationwide student loan debt handout that’ll cost taxpayers an estimated $500 billion, one outspoken Florida couple is warning the legislation will come at a cost to families who worked to pay off their debt.


    "It does make us a little angry because I know in the long run, it's the taxpayers that are gonna have to pay for it," Cristina Merricks told FOX Business’ Ashley Webster on "Varney & Co." Friday.

    "We had to make a ton of sacrifices," Sherman Merricks added. "We actually started a second business as well, so more work… But those were a lot of long days, 14, 15-hour days to make sure that it happened."

    Sherman, who graduated with an undergraduate degree in psychology from a private university before continuing his education and earning his master's degree in biomedical science, previously told Fox News Digital that he thought the $190,000 worth of student loan debt was a burden he’d never get rid of.

    The small business owner said he was paying $300 minimum each month on his loans and expected to continue paying that for the rest of his life.

    In an effort to double their income, the Merricks adjusted to a strict budget and opened a second business just months before the pandemic started in 2020. The couple admitted feeling "extremely blessed" that it took off and helped to pay off their debt in 27 months, but noted "nothing is free," including loan handouts.

    "Individually, I am happy if people get their student loans paid off $10,000 at a time, then I'm happy for them individually," Cristina clarified. "But we all know that nothing is free, and that there's going to be repercussions."

    Biden’s student loan cancellations come at a cost to the Merricks and their children, Sherman further argued.

    "I'm making these sacrifices so they can have a better life, and they're going to be paying for things that they shouldn't have to pay for," Sherman said.

    Though Sherman once regarded the debt handouts as "simply talk," he and his wife are calling the legislation "unfair."

    "We all know life isn't fair, so I think we need to come up with something so that generations aren't straddled with all these extra billions of dollars," Sherman said.

    It's a cult:
    Comparison of Biden’s student loan handout to Jesus miracle by former NBA coach gets slammed on Twitter
    Van Gundy attempted to call Christian conservatives hypocrites for opposing Biden's student loan handout.

    He's now like Jesus Christ?

    Former professional basketball coach and NBA analyst for the TNT network, Stan Van Gundy, was hammered on Twitter Saturday after comparing President Biden’s student loan handout to Jesus Christ’s multiplication of the loaves and the fishes.

    On Saturday, the former head coach for the Orlando Magic and Detroit Pistons shared a biblical meme on Twitter in an attempt to mock conservative criticism of Biden’s widely maligned student loan handout proposed earlier this week.

    The meme consisted of a classical painting of Jesus Christ’s miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and the fishes, whereby Christ fed a crowd of five thousand people with only a couple of loaves of bread and a few fish. The caption along with the painting sarcastically stated, "Jesus’s miracle of the loaves and fishes was a slap in the face to all the people who brought their own lunch."

    The meme seemed intended to rip on conservatives who have railed against the student loan handout, which was designed to use taxpayer money to absolve $10,000 of loan debt borrowed by each American college student making less than $125,000.

    Stressing the point that conservatives would even be against Jesus’ miracle, Stan Van Gundy provided his own caption for the post, writing, "Republican logic."

    Though conservatives on the platform saw right through this attempt to guilt Christians into buying leftist politics.

    Pointing out a huge difference between Christ’s miracle and the government redistributing taxpayer money, conservative commentator Noam Blum asked, "Where did the loaves and fishes come from, Stan?"

    Author Ron Bassilian blasted Van Gundy, stating, "Love this. 1. The left thinks government is God. 2. The left thinks social programs are miracles and don’t obey the laws of thermodynamics."
