It's going to crush the GOP's hope of victory next year. Young voters are the single most important voting demographic right now and they're going to be pissed.
Most student loans — about 92% — are owned by the U.S. Department of Education.
Total federal student loan borrowers: 43.8 million.
Total outstanding federal student loan debt: $1.64 trillion.

The GOP can call it a "handout" which it is in a way but without tackling this issue and offering some plan for relief it will for sure hurt the chances of the GOP.
Unless we're just gonna be OK with rich people getting higher education and the poor being in debt for life.

This really has nothing to do with the GOP and everything to do with spending beyond people’s means, or having a plan to fulfill their obligations.
This should’ve never been put on the taxpayer, it was an individual choice. Should people’s mortgages be assumed by the taxpayers? A home is even more of a necessity, but if you purchase more home than you can afford… you get foreclosed.
Many people buy cars they can’t afford, because they can’t control their sense gratification. If they can’t keep up with their payments, it gets repossessed.
Some people can’t control their sense gratification and consume too much alcohol, drugs, sugar, other foods and they pay the price in disease and perhaps other losses.
Don’t buy what you can’t afford, OR COME UP WITH A PLAN and work the plan! There’s much more SATISFACTION in accomplishment.

Democrats are upset because they have to pay their own bills now instead of having someone else do it.
The election?
You mean Afghanistan, the open southern border, inflation, higher taxes weren't enough?

I'm not a Democrat and I'm upset at our government doing absolutely nothing about this issue. Inflation and higher taxes on top of student debt is going to push many to not vote for republicans telling you to "just work harder" "why'd you take out the loan to better yourself?"
It's not a good look and it's insulting

Inflation and higher taxes are Bidens fault.

Maybe so but student debt is personal to the voter and not doing anything about it will lead to independents either not voting or voting Democrat.
