Fox News Jeanine Pirro called President Joe Bidens announcement he is canceling some student loan debt disgusting on Wednesday, while acknowledging that she never had to borrow money for her education because her family paid for it.
My heart bleeds for the people who actually went out and paid for their loans, who went without things, whose families said, Im sorry, we cant afford your loans, she said.
Look, my family paid for my education, she added. Im sure they had better things to do with their money. I didnt have to take out loans because they paid for them. But they worked hard for their money. This is a giveaway, and its disgusting.
On Wednesday, Biden announced the cancellation of up to $20,000 in student loan debt for certain borrowers earning less than $125,000 annually. He also announced a continuation of the freeze on student loan repayments until January.

And by the way, when this happens, the whole economy is better off.
