Biden’s Administration is Resuming Student Loan Payments.
As if it wasn’t already likely they were going to lose in 2022.
As I’ve said before on what feels like countless occasions now, the only promise Biden decided was worth keeping was to a room full of wealthy donors, when he told them nothing would fundamentally change. Of course, Biden and his administration have evidently decided to once again remind the American people of this reality, and announced that student loan payments that had been stopped due to the pandemic — which continues to rage — would be resuming once again in February.
Megan Henney with FOX Business writes:
“The Biden administration still plans to resume federal student loan payments at the beginning of February, rejecting a push from other Democrats to extend the pandemic relief program for millions of borrowers.
Asked Friday whether President Biden intended to extend a payment freeze that’s poised to expire in February, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the administration has no plans to do so and is instead focused on ensuring a “smooth transition back into repayment.”’
At this point, it feels as though Democrats are actually hoping to lose the House and the Senate.
