If we allowed Biden and the DNC to write the tax plans it would have made billionaires eat shit. Instead the country reelected the guys who made the last awful tax plan just as it expires next year.
Fun fact: if he hadn’t deliberately means tested student loan forgiveness to death, the GOP lawyers wouldn’t have been able to argue discrimination and he knew that.
He wanted the credit for trying, but his owner donors didn’t want his “attempt” to actually succeed.
Except for all the times that it doesn’t. This is one of those times.
People who are rich enough to not need student loan forgiveness don’t have student loans in the first place. Either they come from a rich family that paid for their college or they did so themselves after becoming rich.
With that in mind, means testing student loan forgiveness to death was a hell of a lot of downside including the argument that the fascists used to kill it, in exchange for absolutely no upside.
Regardless of his personal beliefs, half a century worth of experience should be WAY more than necessary to find out how things work regardless of how you think they SHOULD work.
Tl;Dr: he either knew that means testing would doom it to failure and did it anyway, means tested it BECAUSE he knew it would cause it to fail, or he was WAY too incompetent and naive for someone who’d been in the game for longer than most people have been ALIVE.
He was president and the Dems had congressional majorities for some of the time. If they really wanted to significantly overhaul the tax code, they could have.
They want to PRETEND that they’re on the side of the people against the billionaires to fool the gullible into thinking that they’re the good guys rather than the least bad ones, but they know who pays them and it ain’t you…
The senate was a 50:50 deadlock unable to pass anything without Republicans agreeing or they faced filibuster, and even then they needed all 48/47 DNC and independents to vote in unison if none of the Republicans crossed the isle, then utilize VP tiebreaker.
The house was a DNC majority for only his first two years.
And as I explained to you multiple times, the tax plan did not expire under Biden’s presidency.

He did try many times to get rid of student loans, only for Trump’s judicial picks to say it’s illegal to forgive loans of poor people

Or
He’s a fucking liberal that believes means-testing actually works.

Either way, he fucked it up.
We did. As usual, they didn’t do what they and people like yourself who’s drunk the kool-aid keep pretending they’re going to do.
We literally didn’t, lol, the Trump era tax plans expire next year.
