I have never seen such a bold attempt to buy an election in my life. President Biden has continued to promote student loan forgiveness even though the Supreme Court has ruled that it is unconstitutional  three times already. The President does not have the authority to authorize the expending of billions of dollars without an act of Congress. Younger voters already favor Democrats because of the widespread welfare and social programs. By his continuous promotion of student loan forgiveness, he is cultivating favor with young voters who are piling  up thousands of dollars in student loans. Whether he ever gets to fulfill that promise makes no difference as long as it gets him the votes to push Kamala Harris into the White House to continue pushing his liberal policies. In addition, he is trying to buy the votes of Seniors  by pushing the cost of living raise for Social Security up before the election, although so far it seems to be going mainly to those on Social Security disability. Those of us on regular Social Security have not seen any raise yet. He also suppressed criticism of the reductions in Medicare payments that Democrats pushed through Congress which will force providers to increase the cost of Medicare Advantage plans to Seniors or reduce the services they provide. When he realized that those increases would come before the election, he authorized billions of dollars in payments to providers to get them to hold off on increases until after the election so it would not alienate Senior voters. Again, he has no authority to authorize expenditures without an act of Congress. He seems to feel that Congress is not needed, and he can authorize whatever he wants. This is still a democracy, but he acts like he is a dictator with unlimited authority. He continues to add billions to the national debt with the stroke of a pen. Republicans are afraid to protest too loudly for fear of alienating young voters and Seniors.
