Republicans are against anything that benefits the American people.

They're against cancelling student loans, child tax credit, mitigating the formula shortage, methods to reduce gas prices, etc.

Why do people vote for these morons?

Student loan borrowers eager for broad debt forgiveness will be out of luck if Sen. Mitt Romney has anything to say about it.

The lawmaker from Utah along with several of his Republican colleagues on Wednesday introduced a new bill that would bar the Biden administration from broadly canceling student loan debt — a political move the president has been considering since he took office last year.

The Student Loan Accountability Act would prohibit Biden's Education, Justice, and Treasury Departments from taking any action that would cancel or forgive student loan borrowers' outstanding balances or even portions of those balances, according to a Wednesday press release.

The bill would include exemptions for student loan forgiveness, cancelation, and repayment programs that are already in effect, such as the Public Service Loan Forgiveness and Teacher Loan Forgiveness programs.

Republican Sens. Richard Burr of North Carolina, Tim Scott of South Carolina, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, and Thom Tillis of North Carolina joined Romney in introducing the bill in Congress this week.

1. So glad the Republicans are that stupid. nt

[FoxNewsSucks]

2. Hope the people who say Rmoney is a "good" republicon

notice this.

[Carlitos Brigante]

7. I'm pretty sure a few here would even support this. nt

[Joenobody]

8. It's a pretty low bar

Hes a good republican because he's not actively trying to end democracy and drive political violence against anyone who disagrees with him.

Doesn't mean he's not a giant asshole.

[Carlitos Brigante]

9. The bar for these people is lower than crocodile piss, sure. But even

then, they can barely make it.

19. THIS 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

3. The next time I hear rmoney talked about as "reasonable" or some such bs, I

might just throw up on that person.

[dweller]

4. Good lord

NC can do better than those 2 dipshits 😑
Burr/ Tillis are the manchinenema of NC


✌🏻

5. Serves them right

trying to become one of them educated elites. Stay dumb and vote republican.

[Thomas Hurt]

6. Is it really immoral for someone to get something that others did not...

or that somehow they don't deserve, at least as far as the ones screaming about it are concerned.

The fn GQP know the world isn't fair. Their entire ideology is built around the idea of making sure that when the world is unfair it is at least in their favor.

Is this what this is about, petty greed and bitterness. "If I can't get it, you don't either." Corollary to "I got mine, so fuck you."

10. R-money probably has money tied up in student loan companies.

11. The Repukes DON'T HAVE THE VOTES !!!!!!!!

[smirkymonkey]

12. What an absolute bastard!

I so f**king hate that guy. He is such a phoney. Ugh! He just disgusts me.

[madaboutharry]

13. I don't get Romney.

Every once in awhile he manages to do the right thing. But at the end of the day he still has a heart of stone. There is something in him that causes him to hold tight to a sink or swim, you’re on your own, the government owes the people nothing philosophy.

All from a man worth $450 million dollars.

This is a man with no empathy, except for maybe himself.

[iemanja]

14. He's a true Republican

He just doesn't like Trump's illegal activities. That doesn't make him liberal in any way.

[LenaBaby61]

20. THIS 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

[DFW]

15. Romney is worth hundreds of millions

He has no clue what the term “crushing debt” means.

I’d tell him to ask Trump, but Trump thinks “debt” is nothing more than a term for money obtained from an idiot who hasn’t yet figured out that it will never be repaid.

16. Forgiving student debt will not protect young people from the horrors' climate change is bringing

Arguing that forgiving student debt will improve the lives of everyone is a lie because everyone's lives are going to get worse.

[CentralMass]

17. I'm sure Manchin snd possibly Sinema will have Romney's back.

[Emile]

18. Other than tax cuts for tax evading billionaires, what are these

Republican morons for?
