Nice Old Joe Biden Announces Even More Student Debt Forgiveness

I love how Old Joe just keeps on pushing on with his plan to wipe out as much student debt as possible.

As Election Day nears, the Biden administration has ramped up efforts to tout the president’s record on wiping clear the education debts of millions of Americans, despite Republican challenges to the efforts.
