NEW: Bill Maher says he is “incensed” that his tax dollars are going towards paying off the student loans of “Jew hating” students. All this criticism of Biden and he will still vote for him. “I’m so incensed about some of this stuff, because, when I read about the college loans… Biden administration’s student debt cancellation will cost a combined 870 billion to 1.4 trillion.” “So colleges constantly raise tuition, then the kids take out more loans, then the government comes by and pays those loans. Okay, so, my tax dollars are supporting this Jew-hating? I don’t think so.”
