During a recent episode of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher criticized President Joe Biden’s student loan plan, arguing that it would use taxpayer dollars to support anti-Semitic sentiments on college campuses. Maher expressed frustration over the high cost of debt forgiveness for student loans, linking it to colleges raising tuition fees. He questioned the fairness of working-class individuals having to pay off the loans of lawyers and doctors, suggesting that Biden’s decision on student loans was politically motivated.
Some responses to Maher’s comments included former Trump Senior Counselor Kellyanne Conway highlighting the unfairness of the loan repayment system and Bloomberg Businessweek National Correspondent Joshua Green pointing out that the plan may not be effective in gaining support from young voters. Green suggested that issues like Gaza and student loans are not top priorities for this demographic.
