Biden’s student loan debt handout slammed by former Clinton adviser

• Paul Begala criticized President Biden’s student loan debt handout.
• Begala said it was “terrible policy” and “bad politics”.
• Former White House communications director disagreed with Begala.

Paul Begala, a former Bill Clinton aide, called President Biden’s student loan debt relief program “bad policy”. “It’s poor politics as well as bad policy, I suppose. For that sum, free pre-kindergarten could be provided for all 3- and 4-year-olds for ten years. Pre-k is a great way to help the underprivileged, communities of color, and the destitute. Begala stated, adding that he was a “progressive,” that “you could forgive all medical debt, which unlike student debt is not freely entered into.”

Tim Ryan, a Democratic senatorial candidate from Ohio, also spoke out against Biden’s idea, and he called it “poor policy,” the vice president’s plan.

Begala remarked on how “close” Ryan’s race was in Ohio and how he couldn’t “stand this idea.”

He named a number of Democrats who opposed the notion because it may harm their prospects of winning reelection, including Sens. Michael Bennet of Colorado and Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada. “What’s this got to do with my party? They’re hurting the groups of people we’re here to assist, namely the poor and impoverished communities, and I believe they’re not doing that. Additionally, they do not support their candidates for office “Begala said.

Begala disagreed with Ashley Allison, the former National Coalitions Director for Biden-Harris 2020, and stated she thought voters would turn out again for student loan debt forgiveness just like they did in 2020.

The president’s approach, according to former White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin, does little to address the core cause.

“I’m sorry, but it supports the idea that the Democrats are transitioning into an elite party. Donald Trump took advantage of that. Despite not being a supporter of Donald Trump, this is directly contributing to the reason why working people voted for him “She spoke.
