Student Loan Forgiveness: Supreme Court Strikes Down Biden’s Debt Forgiveness Plan
Student Loan Forgiveness: Supreme Court Strikes Down Biden’s Debt Forgiveness Plan
In a 6-3 decision, the court’s conservative majority rejected President Biden’s plan to cancel more than $400 billion in student loan debt for millions of borrowers. It would have been one of the most expensive executive actions in U.S. history.
You're viewing a single thread.
So we apparently decided that millionaires could get COVID loans forgiven and moved on, but regular folks can't get any student loan forgiveness.
Every day I'm more disappointed in my home country.
we didn't decide anything, the mechanism the elite put into our government to prevent true democracy once again worked for them and against us. Just like the Citizen's United case.
Abort the Supreme Court
Judical branch is in place to protect the rights of the few and Constitution so it plays a role. The issue is that the justices defend the powerful rather then thepeoples.
I know the marketing spiel, but I'm talking about how it actually historically functions. In the fine print 'the rights of the few' = 'existing rich people / old money'
Especially since the supreme court never sides with the few when it has the opportunity to grow a spine. Ie: "Jim Crow", "slavery"", internment camps", etc
That was Congress approved though. Blame Congress. POTUS doesn't have forgiveness powers. He has military and nuclear powers. Make he can nuke the bank computers?
Declare war on debt.
Makes more sense than "war on drugs" and "war on terror"
Congress has always been hated. We have no faith in them.
Just another trying to blame the dems for the actual actions of Republicans. But morons gonna moron.
Technically Biden is the one that pushed the bill to make student loans immune to bankruptcy. The Republicans aren't helping the situation, but that doesn't change history
