Seeing as he is longer running, is there any point in doing anything? You only accomplish things in office if you want to be reelected.

I'm not American and I wonder if this stuff will ever cease to be in the news, I find it annoying to no end at this point (and can only guess how annoying it is to Americans who are actually affected by this). Biden might cancel some, even a lot of debt now, but within ten years you'll just end up with a new generation of people in debt. So, is there anything being done about, or politicians even vaguely suggesting some more systematic fix for this shitshow?

If only Republicans would stop holding younger generations hostage through student loans...
