I am glad we have intelligent, responsible, and forward thinking adults urging our children to obtain tens of thousands of dollars if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt for the benefit of their extremely valuable credit score, a number which cannot be raised in any substantially less financially risky ways that I can possibly imagine.
I also think 18 year old drunk drivers should be executed on the spot. So that’s two things we agree on.

Yes, you're right. But why stop at student loans, forgive pay day loan debt, credit card debt, car loans, business loans, and mortgages too. A real solution would start with capping interest rates on (or interest free) student loans, free communitty college which Biden campaigned on, and the financial disclosure of post secondary institutions. Affordable distance education and child care programs for students with children. Simple, efficient government sponsored job programs for students including more paid co ops and more paid apprenticeship programs and providing higher/ more scholarships and bursaries for course completion and GPA. Fair incentives, fair costs and fair consequences. Not just wiping out debt on to have the cycle begin again immediately.

The incompetence coming from the White House is currently connected to two Democrats in the Senate and the entire GQP or things might actually get done.

Trump is a buffoon and was called out for his buffoonery each and every time. Biden's press availability is extremely limited, like last week, when addressing the baby formula shortage, he released a prepared statement and did not meet with the media. As entertaining as I found Jen Psaki, the President, if capable, should really be more available to the media.

Yet some giving two concrete actions being taken regarding baby formula shortages, then refusing to give definitive timelines on something, thats incompetent?
What are you trying to say here?
Did you just endure years of people laughing at the rank incompetence of someone you like and internalize that its a good line of attack?

I mean the tweets are more polite, but things, right now could not be more difficult for so many Americans then they've been in the last 70 years. Division, cost of living/ cost of everything, violence in the community, supply chain, border crisis and on and on. This list is endless and under the current Democrats not one thing has improved for anyone.
What has Biden done right? The withdrawal of the troops from Afgahnastan? Nope. Covid? "We're not going to eliminate jobs, we're going to eliminate the virus". Nope. Immigration? Nope, millions illegally crossing the border and with Title 42 set to expire, more and more undocumented migrants will enter the country each day. This government in its current from is a total failure.
