–As progressive activists hailed US President Joe Biden’s plan to cancel up to $20,000 in student loan debt for college graduates, Republicans and some conservative Democrats have slammed the move as an unfair boost for a relatively small segment of society.Biden and his aides mounted a defence of student debt relief on Thursday, stressing that the plan fulfils a presidential campaign promise and will benefit middle- and working-class Americans.“I will never apologize for helping America’s middle class – especially not to the same folks who voted for a $2 trillion tax cut for the wealthy and giant corporations that racked up the deficit,” Biden wrote on Twitter, referring to a 2017 tax law signed by his predecessor Donald Trump.
