Socialist Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) believes that people who take out student loans with the promise to repay them should not have to carry the burden of their promises. The Señor Wences lookalike took to Twitter to pressure lawmakers to go along with President Biden's plan to forgive up to $50,000 in student debt by executive order. Due to her lack of insight, she was surprised by the responses she received on Twitter.
"I want to hear from you," she posted on Twitter. "How would cancelling $50,000 of student loan debt help you and your family?"
Some of the answers she got were priceless. "Could I have the $50,000 I already paid put back in my bank account?" one person wrote.
"Pls figure out what to give working class people who didn’t go to college to avoid this and feel they’re footing the bill with nothing in return," another user wrote.
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer along with Sen. Elizabeth "Throwing Bull" Warren and Rep. Ayanna Pressley two weeks ago urged Biden to use his pen and his phone to forgive student debt borrowers promised to repay. [It's always easy to be Robin Hood when you're robbing from others, even if they aren't rich.]
They urged Biden in a resolution to use "existing legal authorities" under the Higher Education act of 1965. The resolution also "encourages" Biden to use executive authority under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, which would prevent administrative debt cancellation from resulting in a tax liability for borrowers.
Biden indicated on Tuesday that writing off $50,000 in student debt is not something that he was told can be "done with presidential action," but said he is prepared to eliminate $10,000 for students, because somehow that is a magic number.

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) wrote an op-ed on FoxNews.com Tuesday saying that Republicans "need to have a better answer to calls for debt forgiveness."
He posits that Congress and the administration "should do a better job of informing borrowers about what options exist to make affordable payments, while simplifying options to remove confusion."
Others, like regular taxpayers and those who have repaid their student loans, believe that a deal is a deal, a promise is a promise, and you should pay your damn loan. It was given in good faith and you have no right to ask for public charity, especially because the whole charade benefits the rich and hurts the poor.
Robin Hood was a socialist who robbed the rich because the poor don't have money. And Jayapal is no Maid Marion.
