[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why?  
49.1% of voters age 18-24 years are registered to vote, of those, 39.4% voted in 2016 and 48% in 2020
62.7% of voters age 25-34 years are registered to vote
69.3% of voters age 35-44 years are registered to vote

These two age groups combined (25-44) only 49% voted in 2016 and 55% voted in 2020.

These are the majority of people that still hold outstanding student loans.  So, many of those age demographics either are not registered or do not vote.  The majority of those who are registered and vote regularly are already committed to one side or the other.

The best way to improve numbers is to get people who are not registered, to register and get those are registered to vote, to actually vote.  And Biden wants to encourage uncommitted voters to register and vote for him.  [b]So he is bribing the unregistered and the apathetic into voting for him.

This is the bottom line.  And, in so doing, he is having the rest of America, many of whom make $65K a year or less, pay for the loans.  
Interesting that Trump is currently on trial for a $130,000 pay off to "influence an election" yet Joe Biden is spending billions of taxpayer money in pay offs to influence an election.  [/quote]

I'm the PP you are responding to.  The difference is that what Trump did was illegal.  What Biden is doing is legal.

Laws have meaning and purpose and as long as they are in place, you have to follow them whether or not the logistics make sense.[/quote]

Biden is buying votes.  It is very much illegal.[/quote]

No.  Those who receive tuition forgiveness are free to vote for whomever they want.  There is no requirement that in order receive tuition forgiveness you have to vote for Biden.  That would be illegal.

Otherwise you could say that the first found of stimulus checks that Trump sent out during the pandemic were illegal buying of votes.  After Congress voted to send out the first round of checks during the pandemic to help those who had lost employment during the shutdowns, Trump put a hold on the payments for several weeks because he wanted the IRS to replace the commissioner's signature on the check with Trump's signature.  It was a cost of several hundred thousand dollars to stop the process, change the signature, then resubmit all of the payment checks.  Trump wanted to make sure that his signature was on the check.  And this happened during the last few months of the 2020 election cycle.  That came far closer to trying to buying votes, than what Biden has just done.

But neither is actually vote buying.[/quote]

Again buying votes which is illegal.  You wrote a bunch of things that didn't change the premise.[/quote]

DP here: what are you blabbering about? The current student loan laws allow forgiveness of outstanding principal and interest amounts after 10 years of borrower repayments for public service workers (PSLF), 20 years of borrower repayments for undergrad loans (applies to anyone regardless of job or income), and 25 years of borrower repayments for graduate loans (applies to anyone regardless of job or income).

These forgiveness programs were approved into law by bipartisan efforts in the 1990s and 2000s. There is nothing illegal about Biden applying forgiveness to these borrowers under these elements of the current law.

The Supreme Court knocked Biden back on his plan to forgive $10-20K to qualifying borrowers in a blanket manner using an (tortured) interpretation of the HEROES Act. [/quote]
