Summary

The Biden administration has moved to forgive $4.7 billion in U.S. loans to Ukraine as part of a $9.4 billion loan package authorized by Congress in April to support Ukraine’s government during its war with Russia.

State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller confirmed the decision, which Congress could still block.

The Senate is set to vote on a disapproval motion introduced by Senator Rand Paul, though bipartisan support for Ukraine remains strong.

President Biden is expediting aid ahead of his term’s end, amid concerns President-elect Trump may restrict future support.

                So now it’s ignorant to just point out what powers are granted by the Higher Education Act? Or that Biden tried to limit forgiveness, or that he personally pushed legislation to not allow student loan forgiveness in bankruptcy?

                Don’t you feel a little silly criticizing people for simply pointing out a politician’s record?

                  I suppose I would if that’s what I was doing. I’m going to stop here now as I’m only beating an already dead horse with you…
