Biden can erase medical debt held by veterans *just as easily* as he erased student debt. Veterans' medical debt is too held by the federal government. Nonwhite veterans are more likely to to use the VA for healthcare needs. @POTUS should wipe that debt out completely.

Biden’s announcement on student debt cancelation didn't achieve a goal — it confirmed a method: Organized debtors have power.

Student debt is not a mortgage.
SL debt is at>6% predatory interest rate,compounding interest,and there is no collateral. It's imaginary bullshit debt with nothing backing it, while a mortgage is backed by real estate. It can be rented out,inherited,sold. #CancelALLStudentDebt

“Student loan socialism” I like it.
Once again, judge a policy by its enemies.

Education is a human right, but for too long, our student debt crisis has put it out of reach for millions of people.
Full student debt cancellation will transform lives. Today’s action is a vital first step in our work to achieve racial & economic justice. It won’t be our last.

If you are getting phone calls with offers to help you with your student loans today they are all scams
Shame in Team Biden for means-testing and income capping this instead of making it simple and automatic. The scammers will have a field day with this.

Student debt cancelation is racial justice. The more debt you cancel, the more you narrow the racial wealth gap.

Black borrowers have nearly twice as much student debt ($52,700) after four years of college as our white peers ($28,000). Student debt cancellation is a racial & economic justice issue. Period.
What would cancelling at least $50k in student debt mean for you?

If SoFI, a student loan refinancing company, could give its CEO a 92% raise last year paying him a grand total of $103 million in compensation and spend $625 million to put its name on the LA Rams football stadium, you know what President Biden can do? Cancel all student debt.

.@POTUS’s decision on student debt cannot become the latest example of a policy that has left Black people, especially Black women, behind. This is not how you treat Black voters who turned out in record numbers and provided 90% of their vote to once again save democracy in 2020.

With the stroke of a pen, @POTUS can change lives and save lives.
He must #CancelStudentDebt and go as broad and as deep as the hurt is.

The average amount of debt forgiveness to businesses receiving PPP loans: $95,700. If we could afford to cancel hundreds of billions in PPP loans to business owners in their time of need, please do not tell me we can't afford to cancel all student debt for 45 million Americans.
