Beau says:
The Republican Party plans to challenge student debt relief weeks before the midterms, potentially impacting millions of Americans' access to financial relief.
Voters, Democrats, Republicans
The full transcript provides more context on the GOP's strategy and Beau's disbelief at their approach.
Well, howdy there, internet people.
It's Beau again.
So today we are going to talk about
a unique Republican strategy for the midterms.
The Grand Old Party has a trick up their sleeve.
They plan on taking on the Biden administration directly
with one of its key policies.
And they plan on doing this through the courts.
It, you know, wasn't a big deal or anything,
but you may remember the Biden administration
launching a program to provide a little bit
of student debt relief, up to $20,000
for like 40 million Americans.
The Republican Party, through the GOP,
state attorneys general, and their allies in Congress,
they plan on attempting to stop this.
They plan on filing suit and attempting
to have the student debt relief blocked.
Now, the Department of Education said that by early October,
they would put out like the initial forms
to get started on this as far as registering and trying
to get some relief.
As soon as that happens, apparently the GOP
is going to swing into action to disrupt the Biden
administration's policy.
So to be clear, the GOP's grand strategy here
is weeks before the midterms, they're
going to use the court system to reach
into the pockets of tens of millions of Americans
and attempt to remove thousands of dollars from them.
I mean, weird hill to go out on, but I'm going to let you finish.
I don't know that that's going to have the effect that they
believe it's going to.
I would assume that the prospect of student debt relief
at that level might be a motivating factor
in increased voter turnout among the Democratic Party.
I mean, it seems like that would be a very foreseeable outcome.
However, because the Republican Party,
to include the state attorneys general and people
in Congress apparently, operate in this closed information
ecosystem where they're only getting information that
supports their worldview, they seem
to be under the impression that this will be a popular move
or that worst case scenario, if a federal judge was
to at least temporarily block the Biden administration's
policy, then voters might see it is like a failed promise
from the Biden administration, as if all voters are
their voters and don't look into things.
I would assume that if Republicans
sued to stop something, that most people would lay the blame
at the feet of Republicans.
I mean, I could be wrong there, but I mean,
that seems like how it would play out to me.
I have a lot of questions about who the Democratic Party paid
inside the Republican Party to come up with this plan,
but it appears to be going forward in this manner.
I don't even know what to say about it, to be honest.
I mean, this is, it kind of just writes itself.
They're literally going to try to stop tens of millions
of Americans from getting $10,000 or $20,000
worth of student debt relief right before the election.
OK.
Anyway, it's just a thought. Y'all have a good day.
