Maybe so but he's best at appearing to be a harmless old man while disguised as a puppet of good intent
Well, two out of three isnt bad

I wish I could find more regarding the reason the Bidens chose to breast feed Hunter until age 4 1/2..
In defense of the Biden family at least the children were typically fresh out of the shower and clean

I don’t see it as a moral issue but I do have a problem with this debt forgiveness.

It's a moral issue to me. First, because generally any question of "should we do X" is a moral question, at least in part. But more specifically, because taxpayers loaned money to people to go to school and have a right to expect that money be repaid. If the taxpayers want to forgive some or all of that debt, then it is Congress that has to make that decision, not Joe Biden. Instead, Joe Biden and Democrats are using forgiveness (taxpayer money) to essentially buy votes. It's not fair to taxpayers who already paid off their student loans. And it's surely not fair to people who never got to go to college at all.

Further, forgiveness is a dumb idea, outside of the forgiveness programs Congress has duly authorized (death, teacher forgiveness, etc.). People are going to just rack up more debt this year and next, and the year after. So it's not even fair to future students, either, who probably wont benefit from forgiveness (unless Democrats make this a permanent program).

Top Biden Aides Among Those Who Will Benefit From Student-Loan Forgiveness Plans They Helped Craft

Biden’s White House staffers will benefit from the president’s student loan forgiveness, public records show.

At least 11 current White House staffers – mainly special assistants to the president, who enjoy unique and personal access to the leader of the free world – meet both the income requirements and have disclosed student debts on forms filed in the past year with the White House Office of Government Ethics.

Beyond the White House, other key officials across the Biden administration also stand to benefit from school loan forgiveness. Many of those beneficiaries are presidential appointees at the U.S. Department of Education, which manages the world’s largest portfolio of student debt.

Debt-ridden staffers writing policies to shrink student debt creates a conflict of interest, in the eyes of Rep. James Comer (R-KY) and Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC)....
