Biden’s Student-Debt Pledge Stalls, Frustrating Supporters - WSJ

Joe Biden said during his presidential campaign that he would reduce student debt for millions of Americans, but his allies remain divided on the issue, and some of his supporters are losing hope he will deliver.

Apt.

Melanie Kelley, 38 years old, of Denver, has $125,000 in student loans. When the Biden administration’s pandemic-related pause on student-loan payments ends in May, she will owe $1,000 a month. “It’s become this unmanageable beast for me,” she said. “May isn’t that far away. How am I going to figure this out?”

Well, Melanie, you’re an adult. You’ve had 26 months to figure it out and you did what, exactly?

but her debt has kept her from starting a family or buying a house.

If by “debt,” Melanie means “lifestyle.”
