Biden to Republicans on student loan plan: ‘Who the hell do they think they are?’

President Biden on Friday bashed Republicans who have attacked his student loan forgiveness plan, calling out certain lawmakers like Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (Ga.).

“Ted Cruz, the great senator from Texas, he said it’s for slackers — quote slackers — who don’t deserve relief. Who the hell do they think they are?” Biden said in remarks at Delaware State University.

The president specifically criticized lawmakers who have opposed his student loan forgiveness plan but who received small business loans during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I don’t want to hear it from MAGA Republican officials who had hundreds of thousands of dollars of debts, even millions of dollars, in pandemic relief loans forgiven, who now are attacking me for helping working- and middle-class Americans,” he said.

You mean the loans because the government shut their businesses down, and were given money so they didn’t have to permanently close their doors, so they could continue paying employees as the government was picking and choosing who could be open? As they implemented the strategies government recommended to safeguard their employees and customers? Those loans? The ones which were authorized by the duly elected Legislative Branch, versus Biden unilaterally offering to get rid of up to $20,000 of legally acquired debt that kids voluntarily signed for, often to attend an expensive, Democratic Party run school, and obtain a degree that won’t allow them to repay the loan?

Nobody asked for the pandemic. No one asked to have businesses shuttered or have limited hours. No one asked to have their businesses put in the grave. Kids asked for their loans. If Biden wants this so much, let him get it through Congress. Let him sign legislation which transfers money from the working class and people who made good financial decisions to upper middle class folks who made poor decisions on their student loans. And, we all know this is simply a bribe to get people to vote Democrat. A goodly chunk of those PPP loans were meant to be forgiven. You have folks making $100k whining they cannot repay their student loans while ordering delivery almost every day.

If Biden cannot convince lawmakers and citizens loan forgiveness is a good idea, then, who the hell does he think he is? Is he even aware of what’s going on?
