I vaguely remember hearing about this thing called an executive order.

Remember when Bush Sr. stole all the Iraqi govt property in the US during Desert Storm? Seems like if he can do that, they could figure something out. The fact is, they don't really want to, exactly like OP says, they just want to appear to want to.

    Learn how the government works. Please. An executive order was what Biden did previously, in attempting to cancel a smaller amount of debt for less people. It was rejected by the supreme court. There is no next step, there is no other way that isn't an explicitly authoritarian unconstitutional Andrew Jackson style attack on the supreme court. Biden would have an approval rating of 10% within a week, whether or not anyone on Lemmy thinks it's a good idea.
