President Joe Biden was challenged by a reporter about the fairness of his student debt relief order, and his answer was immediately lambasted by many on social media.
Biden was speaking about the student debt program he ordered Wednesday when a reporter asked him to comment on the challenge that the policy was unfair to those borrowers who worked hard to pay off their loans.
“Is this unfair to people who paid their student loans or chose not to take out loans?” asked Karen Travers of ABC News.
“Is it fair to people who, in fact, do not own multibillion-dollar businesses if they see one of these guys getting all the tax breaks? Is that fair? What do you think?” Biden responded.
“What about people who paid their loans, though, struggled to pay their loans, and now others don’t have to?” asked another reporter.
