Great! Surely they'll cut funding to the US military too, right?

    Nope. From an article about the debt ceiling bill that resumed student loan payments in June: "Some $886 billion will be spent on defense, according to the bill text."

    That's an increase after a $858 billion defense bill passed in december

    Biden's student loan forgiveness only would have cost $400 billion, but spending almost $2 trillion per year on ending people's lives is more important.
