President Joe Biden’s plans to deliver widespread student debt relief were dealt a serious blow last year when the Supreme Court struck down his one-time student loan forgiveness program. But he has still managed to cancel more federal student loan debt than any other president.
Biden Has Canceled Student Debt for Nearly 4 Million
Congress failed to pass minimum wage. Kyrsten Sinema did a courtesy when she cast the deciding no vote.
Sinema wasn’t the deciding anything. There were 7 other members of the Democratic caucus who were willing to go on record as hating workers and wanting them to continue to suffer.
Tell that to the ghost of Ted Kennedy who tried to increase minimum wage every year he was Senator. He would sigh, but not blame all the Presidents while he was in office.
While Mr. Biden included the minimum wage increase in his stimulus proposal and the House passed it as part of its version of the package, a top Senate official, Elizabeth MacDonough, ruled that it could not be included in the bill under the strict rules governing the reconciliation process, which protects legislation from filibusters and allows it to pass with a simple majority. Democrats are using reconciliation to fast-track the bill through the Senate.
Wtf does the parliamentarian of the senate have to do with Biden? Do you honestly think Biden can fire her? They aren’t even in the same branch of government. Get it together.
Assuming you’re just a troll at this point, but if you really don’t know the senate decides who the senate parliamentarian is, of course, just like everyone else who works for the senate, and she was appointed in 2012 by Harry Reid.

What is a true paradox is that you didn’t know this.
The willfully ignorant never seek to expand their knowledge.

Doesn’t matter. Bidden doesn’t control the Senate, and he’s not King. Minimum wage can only increase through Congress.
I mean, it matters to people whose wages stayed put.

Ted Kennedy has been dead for the entire Biden administration.
I don’t see what he has to do with your claim that workers don’t matter.
Didn’t claim that. You know that. I claimed the President can’t raise the minimum wage other than for government workers. WhichBiden did, BTW.
So, why didn’t Obama or Trump raise the minimum wage? Because it’s Congress’s job.

Thank you for the reminder that Biden didn’t fire the parliamentarian because she blocked what he wanted blocked.
