Like, Democratic voters for whom following the news is a hobby basically just keep up with the latest reason Democrats have supposedly been blocked from action. They're not concerned with how to bring about policy goals. Why would Democratic leadership want to change that?

Tbh resuming student loan payments is one of the most direct, personal, and lovely things a politician has ever done to me. Most bad policies have effects at the structural level, but this is literally sending me a monthly bill for 10% of my income.

My student loans would be financially crippling if I were attempting to pay them down, which I'm not. My principal hasn't moved in 7 years of repayment. Biden campaigned on doing something about them, even though his offer was pitiful. He's backtracked on doing even that.

This was obviously the bargain democrats purposefully made, but it's still interesting seeing it play out so clearly in numbers. Biden's promise that "nothing will fundamentally change" really was the greatest distillation of his candidacy, and his loyal support is from the groups that want exactly that. https://twitter.com/whstancil/status/1472939210441170957?s=20

There's never going to be a good time to resume student loans. It's going to gently caress over a lot of people whether COVID's a factor or not because it was already so broken. So do you piss off voters right before an election? Right after? In between and hope people forget? Or maybe just wait for Republicans to win again and let them do it. This might be one of the best incentives they've ever had for doing something about student loans though. It's threatening their jobs!

Jabronie posted:I think the big talking point around loan forgiveness, before they negotiated themselves to stop talking about it at all, was several years of "public service" for 10k debt forgiveness There's already the PSLF and TLF programs. PSLF is by far the most generous that I'm aware of, forgiving your entire federal loan balance after ten years of payments while working a qualifying public service job. It's still an obtuse, mismanaged mess though.

Minecraft Holmes posted:Is that the one that has a like 2% actual forgiveness/success rate Yeah. I think it's gotten better, but it's still a mess. The problem is that there's only one servicer (FedLoan), and they're dogshit. The other problem is that the program only forgives certain kinds of loans, and figuring out if yours qualify is not easy. There other other problem is that sometimes it's ambiguous as to whether your job qualifies as public service. Ok, actually, there are a lot of other problems too, but you get the idea. ~the democrats~
