Biden: ‘The Economy Is Growing ... Jobs, Income, Across the Board

Biden: “Earlier in my term, I announced the major plan to provide millions of working families with debt relief for their college student debt. Tens of millions of people in debt were literally about to be cancelled, their debts, but my MAGA Republican friends in the Congress, elected officials and special interests stepped in and sued us. And the Supreme Court blocked it. They blocked it. But that didn’t stop me. I announced we were going to pursue alternative paths for student debt relief for as many borrowers as possible. And that’s the effort that’s been underway the last two years.

The economy is growing, it’s growing. Jobs, income, across the board. We have the most advanced economy of any major nation in the world. We have a lot more to do, but with the help of all of you college graduates who have gotten paid off your student loans now, I’m confident we’re going to get it all done. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Appreciate it."
