The Biden administration, in its latest attempt to woo voters before the upcoming election, has unveiled a sneaky plan to start wiping out interest balances for borrowers this fall. Critics are already calling foul on this move, accusing the administration of using taxpayer money to buy votes. The timing of this announcement, just before the election, is highly suspicious and reeks of political maneuvering.
While it may sound appealing to those holding student loan debt, the truth is that this proposal is a blatant attempt to manipulate voters. By offering this “freebie” just before the election, the administration is clearly banking on swaying the opinions of struggling borrowers in their favor. It’s a classic political ploy – promise something shiny and hope that voters will forget about all the other issues at hand.
We are more than $34.6 trillion in debt, but Biden just wants to keep up the reckless spending.

Not only is this plan a shameless attempt to buy votes, but it also sets a dangerous precedent. If the administration can erase interest balances now, what’s to stop them from recklessly spending taxpayer money on other handouts in the future? This is yet another example of big government overreach and fiscal irresponsibility.
At the end of the day, this move by the Biden administration is nothing more than a transparent political stunt. Voters should see through this thinly veiled attempt to win favor and hold the administration accountable for their actions. We can’t let our hard-earned tax dollars be used as bargaining chips for votes.
