Biden’s lawless bailout of credentialed elites continues

Published November 28, 2022 12:00am ET



Other than unmarried women, no demographic was a more reliable vote for President Joe Biden’s Democratic Party this Election Day than college-educated voters. So it should come as no surprise that Biden once again showered this constituency with federal money when he announced that the Department of Education would, for the sixth time, delay all student loan payments.

To be fair, former President Donald Trump first delayed these payments before Biden did. But that was at the height of the COVID-19 shutdowns. No one could pay because no one was allowed to work. Biden has since assured the nation that “the pandemic is over.” Inflation is still rising faster than real wages, but the unemployment rate has fallen to near pre-pandemic levels. Everyone, especially the most privileged and wealthiest among us who hold college degrees, should be able to pay their bills by now.
