95% of Biden's student debt relief is slated for households making $75k or less. It’s lifting at least half a million young black folk from a net negative balance sheet to net positive one, and it will wipe out debt for nearly half of Latino borrowers.

Someone should tell the privileged that y'all look clueless complaining about debt relief for a generation whose Social Security trust is being stolen to fund Boomer retirements. Especially after 40 years of goverment tax breaks, bailouts, slush funds, subsidies, and forgiven loans flowing to millionaires, billionaires, war contractors, homeowners, megachurches, hedge fund managers, corporate farms, Wall Street, and banks.

The people who think student debt relief is bad politics for Democrats are the same out of touch establishmentarians who did not see the Democrats' recent New York swing district special election victory coming, as Americans reject Republican forced birth extremism, climate change denial, and semi-fascist attacks on democracy.

Wealthy white men crying about struggling millennials making $67,000 a year getting $10,000 of student debt relief is not playing on the streets like y'all think it is.
