    Uh. Pretty sure that student loan legislation far predates Biden’s presidency. Unless you’re referring to his time as senator and have a particular bill in mind?

      Yes he is the one that wrote the bill that makes it so you can’t discharge student loan debt during bankruptcy. He is directly responsible for that.

      Tired of being downvoted for stating facts. We should be able to hold him responsible for bad legislation that he as not even try to correct.

        Okay, Joe Biden voted for that bill in 05, gotcha. Seems like the vote was “I promise to vote for this R bill that is likely to pass anyway, so long as they include my amendments to soften it,” although Elizabeth Warren seems to think even that was capitulating too much to the Rs.

        Like a lot of other policies, current Biden seems to be working to undo some of his past voting record. Not a bad trend, at least.
