In a rousing speech in Milwaukee, President Joe Biden didn’t hold back as he boasted about sticking it to the Supreme Court and breaking the rules by plowing ahead with his student loan forgiveness plan. Despite the Supreme Court shutting down his $400 billion student loan write-off scheme, Biden wasn’t fazed and pushed forward with smaller rounds of loan cancellation anyway, sticking it to those pesky judges.
“I went to the Supreme Court to eliminate student debt out there,” Biden proudly proclaimed to thunderous applause, conveniently omitting the fact that the Supreme Court had actually shot down his plan. However, it seems old Joe might have fumbled his numbers a tad, as the amount of debt he claimed to have relieved for 136 million people far exceeds the actual number of student loan borrowers in the United States. But hey, who’s counting anyway?

The Biden administration might want to double-check their math, as they’ve only managed to wipe out roughly $132 billion in student loan debt for 3.6 million lucky borrowers. That’s a far cry from the 136 million people Biden claimed to have helped. Perhaps he’s got some secret, mystery borrowers stashed away somewhere.
Speaking of mystery numbers, the President’s critics are quick to point out the staggering amount of non-student loan-holding citizens who are footing the bill for Biden’s debt forgiveness frenzy. With about 290 million people not burdened by student loans, it’s safe to say there are a lot of folks scratching their heads and wondering why they’re being asked to foot the bill for other people’s debts.
But hey, who needs the old Supreme Court anyway? It’s Joe Biden’s world, and we’re all just living in it – debt and all.
