a hilarious Fox News article

The White House wont say if President Biden regrets taking nearly $1 million over three years from the University of Pennsylvania for a gig that involved teaching no regular courses and whether that money would have been better used helping students avoid taking out massive loans.
After leaving the White House following the Obama years, Biden took up professional residence at UPenn, where he became the universitys first Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor.
In his vaguely-defined role at the school, Biden was paid $371,159 in 2017 and $540,484 in 2018 and early 2019, his financial disclosures show. The presidents duties in his three-year tenure included not teaching regular classes and attending about a dozen high-profile, big-ticket events.

Biden announced his $10,000 student loan handout last week, irking both Republicans and vulnerable Democrats as the national debt nears $31 trillion.
A week after the announcement, the Biden administration has remained silent on who will foot the bill.

they really think this is some sort of gotcha moment

If McDonalds were so bad for you, why are they literally everywhere?

whether that money would have been better used helping students avoid taking out massive loans.

This seems like an incredibly silly spin tbqh, both because of the amount of money and because that's not what it would have been used for otherwise
