The president has never had power to cancel debt with an executive order, and that's not a power we should give him. A year before he signed that order his own party was saying that power rested exclusively with congress. It's shitty that he gave all these people false hope, but it was never going to happen and he had to have known it which is why he timed it to happen right before midterms.

Like COVxy says, you need to address the affordability of university. That's the problem, not that the president was blocked from arbitrarily forgiving a random amount of debt from a small subset of student loan borrowers, once.
