One of the major driving forces as to why many voters backed Joe Biden as president was due to his stance on student loans. For some time now, young voters have pushed for the government to step in and stop the mountain of debt that is being placed on college students who wish to gain a higher level of education. When some students graduate college, they enter the workforce with a debt already exceeding the price of a starter home. That’s why President Biden supported loan forgiveness and promised to help students break free of their debt. But now that Biden’s in the White House, that narrative has changed. 

On February 1, 2022, students will once again be accountable for the debt they incur during their time at college. Although student loans were paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Biden administration announced the payments would start again.

White House Press Secretary Jen Paski stated, “A smooth transition back into repayment is a high priority for the administration. The Department of Education is already communicating with borrowers to help them to prepare for return to repayment on February 1st and has secured contract extensions with loan servicers.”

Psaki added that Biden has helped over 41 million students when it came to their loans, but many online users lashed out at the administration for failing to keep their initial promise. Marti Cummings, a “drag artist”, wrote,  “Biden ran on a promise of student loan relief, paving a way to help millions of people. Now student loan payments are set to begin on Feb 1st. Broken promises will lose is elections in 2022 & 2024. Biden we voted for you to follow through on your promises.”

Cori Bush (D-MO) noted, “A note to Democrats who blame progressives after losing an election: Forcing millions to start paying student loans again and cutting off the Child Tax Credit at the start of an election year is not a winning strategy. We’re warning you now, don’t point fingers in November.”

And one user admitted, “The more and more emails I get about student loan payments starting back up the more and more I regret voting for Biden LYING ASS!”
