Biden angers AOC, Warren and Schumer over refusal to cancel student debt – By Josh Marcus (The Independent) / Feb 17 2021

The president argued during a town hall that he had other tools to provide those in student loan debt some relief

President Biden is facing backlash from his progressive allies like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Elizabeth Warren after he refused to commit to canceling more than $10,000 in student debt during a CNN town hall event on Tuesday night.

“The case against student loan forgiveness is looking shakier by the day. We’ve got the *Senate Majority Leader* on board to forgive $50k. Biden’s holding back, but many of the arguments against it just don’t hold water on close inspection,” Ms Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter on Tuesday. “We can and should do it. Keep pushing!”

“Entire generations of working class kids were encouraged to go into more debt under the guise of elitism. This is wrong,” she added.
