This has been the Biden policy they all love to hate - even the ones with a college degree.
"No one paid off my loans - so why should those brats get theirs paid off!"
As you know, most discussions with Republicans boil down to that - plus, more often than not, something bigoted.

Nothing succeeds like success, as my late father used to say.

(36,588 posts)A lot of people get their news from the broadcast networks -- the first 15 minutes or so of the evening news or a few minutes in the morning while rushing to get ready for work. Many don't have time or inclination to tune to long-winded cable discussions and analysis.
These are the people who need facts instead of "bothsides" reporting that is designed to increase campaign ad revenue.

GOP/Trump tax cut to the rich. 2.3 Trillions
Here is the math. https://calculator.name/numberconvert/trillion/billion/2.3
Biden's plan helps young people to get out of debt, start a family, buy a house, and become productive citizens.
The GOP/Trump tax cut makes the rich richer to buy multiple homes and private jets and spend millions supporting greedy Republican politicians to get reelected.
Reelected to pass other huge tax cuts for the rich so the cyclic process is continued.
Tax cuts for the super-rich. Dark money from the super-rich to the politicians.
Around and around it goes.
