Manchin on student loans
Bold emphasis mine.
"Today I voted to repeal the Biden Administration's student loan cancellation proposal because we simply cannot afford to add another $400 billion to the national debt," Manchin said in the statement.
"There are already more than 50 existing student loan repayment and forgiveness programs aimed at attracting individuals to vital service jobs, such as teachers, health care workers, and public servants," he continued. "This Biden proposal undermines these programs and forces hard-working taxpayers who already paid off their loans or did not go to college to shoulder the cost. Instead, we should be focusing on bipartisan student debt reforms that reduce the cost of higher education and help all Americans."

He's starting to sound like a conservative.
Joe moves with the wind but at the end he is a (D) slime. He can not be trusted, even his daughter is a liar. She learned it from her dad, a money grubbing liberal that once in a blue moon get it right, entirely by accident.
Ole sleepy Joe could care less......he is simply going to veto it like everything else he doesn't like.
Why (?) Should Taxpayer's be forced to pay for College for those not related to them? (Or even those related to them.)
What about those of us who joined the Military in order to save/put $$ aside and pay our own way through College. (5 years Army here.) Anyone gonna pay me back for that?
I thought not.
Communism is NOT the American way. (Komrade.)
If you don't want/desire/intend to pay your "Loan" back, (here is a News flash) don't accept/apply/take the loan. Work for it.
*Blatent Vote buying.
This BS, just makes me go AARRGGHH..........................................................................
I believe Joe Manchin is probably keeping the ship afloat. He's a old fashioned democrat not a Commie.

What happened to America? We live in a country where a President can decide to spend $400 billion dollars and Congress has to muster a 2/3 vote to stop him? This is madness.

Hate to get involved in politics but here goes.
I remember when Joe Manchin and his wife ended their vacation early and came home to comfort the families of the trapped miners in W. Virginia. I believe he truly loves the people of W. Virginia despite what some say. Many times I think he tried to do the right thing.
On the other hand you could have the misfortune to live in NY STATE that was governed by the TYRANT Andrew Cuomo. I listened to his Fireside chats with much dismay. He met with Silver and Skelos behind closed doors in the dark of night and jammed the NY SAFE (unsafe) Act of 2013 down our throats without any input from "We the people". And then there are the thousands that died in nursing homes because of his policies. There is much, much, more but GB does not have enough bandwidth to cover it all. He finally showed his colors and I hope he rots in hell.

Going out on a limb but the old president Kennedy era democrats were much different than the whacko's today.
Remember "ask not what your country can do for you but what can you do for your country".
No I am not a demorat and will never be one.
They are lying when they say it would cost 400 billion dollars, the figure is closer to 1.3 trillion dollars. This was put out by the accounting office a few months ago.
Joe better be careful Republican Governor Justice is coming for his senate seat. Heres to hoping Justice wins
Manchin has stolen enough to cover him for the rest of his days.
Is it still considered stealing if they all do it??
I believe they call it fund raising 😁
