These Billionaires Are Sabotaging Your Student Debt Relief

Video from More Perfect Union



The Supreme Court is hearing a case that could kill student debt relief. You might have heard that a random, ordinary woman started the lawsuit that brought the Biden administration's student debt cancellation program to a halt. But Myra Brown is just a patsy. Here's the truth: a shady network of conservative billionaires is behind the whole thing.

We dug into the Job Creators Network and the billionaires who fund it. This is how Bernie Marcus, the Mercers, the Koch brothers, and others stopped you from getting your student debt forgiven.

And Maurice Symonette aka Mike the Black Man behind TFG at all of his rallies? The list goes on and on. The problem at its root is the billionaires, would be oligarchs, southern aristocrats — whatever you want to call them. The sinister greedy people supremacists.

my brother has a pet crusade w them. they have it fixed so that military training does not translate to civilian certification for the exact same job.
just to make them take out loans.
my nephew joined the army to train as a medic, cuz he wanted to be an rn. did his hitch, did a tour in afghanistan, was a surgical nurse at reed. got home and found out he had to start at square 1 to get that rn.
couldnt even work as an emt.

my bro was a 1 man campaign to fix that in cali at least. got a state rep to put up a bill. got it passed.
then the guy got targeted, defeated, and the BILL WAS REPEALED.

i’ve tried to sell this issue to a few illinois pols, but no luck. had this convo w kelly westlund, too.
lotta ppl know, nobody stickin their neck out.
guess there isnt rly a nursing shortage.
