Think about it. If that happens... it puts a sweet stick and carrot in front of everyone that has a student loan. It's like "Well if Trump gets in, no way we'll get our loans cancelled... so hell yeah... I'm voting for Joe. At least there'll still be a chance."
Well yeh, I get the dangling the bait "if you elect me" scam.
But if so, he is playing it wrong. He should wait until off in the fall right before the election. Where is he able to announce it but there is no time for it work through the courts.
Instead, there are months for the lower courts- or even an expedited trip up the S.C. to kaibosh it. Keep in mind that it was shot down last time, and this current plan of his is the same thing warmed over EXCEPT this time the lower court and the appeal court and the supreme court have the case law from the last decision and the district and appeals courts tend to take that seriously. That's kind of what being a lower court is all about.
Furthermore, there is the argument that it will actually hurt him if he is successful. Sure he will pick up dem votes but he will also lose a pantload amongst the working class (that the dems no longer own) who feel like they got nothing became a roofer or truck driver while those with degrees in intersexual basket-weaving write off a couple hundred thousand.
The right play here for Biden was to stay out of further school loan ratholes it but instead to move over to launching a massive housing stimulus for homebuyers and homebuilders. He will get there but he has shot too much of his powder on covid scams, infrastructure for poets schemes, benefits for illegals, etc. He has no national economic plan beyond "give away some sh@t this week, give away some sh@t next week, etc. etc. Probably the investment in chip manufacturing in the u.s. was an exception to all the pork and outright votebuying schemes.
Anyway, his campaign not mine. I just don't see the school loan thing as a winner for him. I think it is net lose/lose. Gonna make some people happy and also create massive landmine for some voters who already feel plenty ignored.
