“…Mitt Romney apparently sold his car elevator house. His cars must now take the stairs at his remaining homes.” – Jamison Foser
Yesterday:
President Biden @POTUS
United States government official
If you make under $125,000, you’re eligible for up to $10,000 in student loan debt relief.And almost ninety percent of the benefit will go to folks making less than $75,000 a year.

Also yesterday:
Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney
Sad to see what’s being done to bribe the voters. Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan may win Democrats some votes, but it fuels inflation, foots taxpayers with other people’s financial obligations, is unfair to those who paid their own way & creates irresponsible expectations.

There was much hilarity in the comments:
Was it bribery when your party added $1.9 trillion to the debt to give your wealthy corporate donors massive tax handouts?
Feel free to pay your fair share of taxes if you want to help out.
GOP had $2 trillion bribe for millionaires like yourself, which added $2 trillion in debt without growing the economy. All it did was make rich even richer.
This debt relief will help most Americans get ahead, expand economy, and lessen debt burden. That’s a good thing.
If we wanna talk about anything Sen. Romney let’s talk about health care, SS, and why education is in such a mess here in the “richest country in the world”. Oh,I forgot, It’s just about the wealthy in America.
What did the Trump Tax Cuts do to our deficit? You supported that, Mittens.
Mitt Romney was ALL IN for the GOP Tax Scam though, which gave tax breaks to millionaires like himself and exploded the deficit.
Oh he absolutely loves it! Mitt also voted for the US to default on the tab the GOP ran up in under 4 years. GOP cares about giving 2T in tax cuts to the 1% on the backs of the middle class, but he absolutely draws the line at working day people receiving help.
Your entire career has been one long gift to donors and your own wealth via carried-interest loophole preservation. Want to talk about an immoral scam? Look into what carried interest is and why the loopholes are disgusting.
Senator – #Trump & #GOP 2017 unfunded tax cut was a BRIBE for the top 1% of voters and in-part raised US national debt by 40% to $28,000,000,000,000, from 2017-2020! You know this as you voted for that “BRIBE” !
Cut the hypocrisy, Sir!

This is a hideous comment from one of the richest men in politics.
I’m not terribly interested to hear the opinion of a plutocrat who advocates a selfish “I’ve got mine” mentality from their perch of power. Why don’t you focus on industries that actually drive inflation rather than harp on about relief measures to actual people?
I had school loans, paid them back. That was when college costs were reasonable. Now, they’re out of control.
State colleges and Universities should be free to students qualifying for them. An educated society is better for all of us.
That’s strange. I didn’t hear you complain about how unfair it was to those who paid their own, when Republicans granted the richest among us a $2.5 trillion tax giveaway.
You really have the audacity to tweet this?
He also thought he’d be President.
Well I’m sitting here trying to remember the last time your party did anything to help the lower and middle class and dang it, I can’t think of a thing. I do remember that huge tax cut you all gave to the millionaires and billionaires though, To get their support and donations.
Student loan forgiveness is good for everyone.
What’s coming from the wealthy elite is all noise.
It shouldn’t even be up for debate.
And this statement coming from someone who is wealthy, feels entitled and could care less about others who are struggling and need a little help! Voters see clearly what your party stands for, they need no bribes!!
Kinda like corporate bailouts and tax cuts for the 1%? But those are okay, correct Milt?
God forbid we give taxpayer money to taxpayers instead of billionaires, right?
Now do rich people and oil companies.
Legacy hire who sold stock gifted to him by wealthy and successful daddy to pay college costs has thoughts.
Y’all hand out tax cuts to billionaires like candy for the last 40 years miss me with this fiscal responsibility posturing
It doesn’t end…
