Now it seems most of Biden’s staff have had their student debt forgiven! Guess it’s mostly for Democrats!!

Being a post-graduate degree holder, I can say that most of my classes focused on different demographic issues, and the societal demands imposed on each group.

I graduated from graduate school over 20 years ago, and I continue to do research on race by political adherence as well as teach in urban and suburban areas. Republicans often conflate minority groups with who gets the most government assistance. Unfortunately, they are not always consistent. I would suggest that some people live with the disadvantaged people. I would walk people through the differences, but it would fall on deaf ears.

Back in the '70's I had a college loan to pay off. I worked at two jobs for several years, but I did pay the debt off. Why can't these free=loaders do the same?

Why should they when Biden will let them off the hook and make us who has no college pay theirs off to get their votes? Then audit all low income voters, thru scare tactics to come up with fictious debt. Their in control and aim to stay that way!!

Enough already with the “disadvantaged people”. Everyone has the same opportunity to improve their lot in life. The perpetual victim mentality and personal choices are the only thing holding them back.

Amen! The left's "I'm such a much better person because I care...I care soooo much I am willing to take YOUR money and give it to 'disadvantaged persons", (along with their government checks/food stamps.) I of course don't need to contribute anything extra...After all I CARE

Wouldn't forgiving loans for people who can't afford it be more practical? Student loan debt to income ratios should be considered, imo. Yes, wealthy will call discrimination, but so could those who have already paid off their loans. (Seems to me Gates and Green would have no problem paying back student loans!!)

Frankly, I'm surprised Biden didn't forgive debts for Democrats only. Why not? They don't have to obey laws!

You've got that right!!

I heard you have false information and don’t know what you’re talking about.

The White House hit back at Republicans in an uncharacteristic manner Thursday by using its Twitter account to go after GOP lawmakers who are bashing President Joe Biden's move to cancel some student debt after they personally benefited from having Paycheck Protection Program loans forgiven during the Covid pandemic.

In a series of tweets, the White House highlighted several congressional Republicans — Reps. Vern Buchanan of Florida, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania, and Markwayne Mullin and Kevin Hern of Oklahoma — who it said had six- and seven-figure PPP loans forgiven as part of a federal program intended to help those harmed by the coronavirus.

Like many of their GOP colleagues, the lawmakers have blasted Biden over his student loan decision.

Greene, who said on Newsmax that “it’s completely unfair” for student loans to be forgiven, had $183,504 in PPP loans forgiven, according to the White House.

Kelly, who tweeted that Biden's move was poised to benefit “Wall Street advisors” at the cost of “plumbers and carpenters,” had $987,237 forgiven, the White House said.

Buchanan, who according to the White House had more than $2.3 million in PPP loans forgiven, tweeted that Biden’s move was “reckless” and a “unilateral student loan giveaway.”

Under Biden's student debt plan, borrowers who earn less than $125,000 a year, or $250,000 for couples who file taxes jointly, will be eligible for up to $10,000 in debt cancellation. Pell Grant recipients, who make up the majority of student loan borrowers, will be eligible for an additional $10,000 in debt relief, for a total of $20,000.

The Paycheck Protection Program was promoted in 2020 as offering loans that could be forgiven if the companies spent the money on business expenses. The requirements for federal student loan forgiveness have been much more stringent over the years.

The White House also highlighted criticism and PPP loan forgiveness amounts from Mullin (more than $1.4 million) and Hern (more than $1 million).

NBC News has reached out to all five lawmakers for comment.

Mullin responded to the White House on Twitter by saying Biden was unfairly targeting business owners for “protecting their employees” during the height of the pandemic.
