Its the same thing with those that were on alternative payment plans. There are going to be MILLIONS of people who are going to assume they are still on the same payment plan they were on when the pandemic hit, only to be hit with a standard repayment plan payment (likely hundreds of dollars more than they are expecting.)

Presidents are judged by history, not the distraction and exhaustion of the moment. Did the person in the Oval Office address the core problem of the moment? The Biden administration passes that test. Sure, there have been failures — the shameful Afghanistan withdrawal, failing to renounce the excesses of the cultural left.

Yeah but this is a major failing of the entire establishment Dems. They do not act with (or even speak with!) an urgency proportional to the problems. The US has MASSIVE problems needing URGENT attention. This is not the time for platitudes and assurances to just be patient and trust the process. But that’s what the eDems are offering. Even when they assert that they are making big bold moves like the infrastructure bill, its like 10% of what is actually needed.
