That he exceeded his COnstitutional power - i.e., it's unconstitutional
??? I paid off my college loans in my 20's and 30s, bought a home and started a family. Millions of us did.Or more pragmatically-
If young people are spending their 20's and 30's paying off college loans, they aren't buying homes and starting families.
Even if they felt that loan forgiveness was bull shit - their taxes wouldn't go up. Many wouldn't give a damn where the money went.The majority are high school educated, and THEY would have been the ones stuck paying off loans for people earning twice what they are.
Or, hold people responsible for the contracts they sign. In typical Leftist / Marxist fashion, it falls on someone else to take responsibility for the decision to take on debt no one was forced to make.Again, works for me.
Here's the thing. We let homeowners, businesses, etc. declare bankruptcy and weasel out of part or all of their debt. But we've made student loans immune to bankruptcy filings.
Or maybe shame Congress into solving the problem.
You’re lumping all black people together. They are not all the same, and many blacks today started AHEAD of many white people.The point to consider is that black people weren't permitted to start out on the same line.
And then in my opinion as a Canadian, affirmative action had a lot to do with creating a starting line for all races.
To your comment in a 'literal' sense, that's when the black athletes moved the finish line to their advantage! And that's when the trouble started.
Yes, I know that you didn't mean it literally, but perhaps there's some common ground possible on this topic?
You are right, my apologies.No, they said the president can't do it under existing law.
Clearly, Congress can. And should.
Not debatable at all. All of them, Pelosi, Biden ... expressly admitted that the Heros Act did not give the President this power.Okay. That's kind of debatable, because the existing law where the government took over the management of these loans DID give him that authority. But, hey, the six hacks on the Supreme Court said otherwise.
Ahhhh... remember when Conservatives were against legislating from the bench.
It is still rewarding affluent people and giving a big shrug to the struggling lower-middle class. Democrats will not come out ahead because conservatives recognized the unfairness of it all.Even if they felt that loan forgiveness was bull shit - their taxes wouldn't go up. Many wouldn't give a damn where the money went.
This was not a sufficient reason for the many of them to flock to the Republican party if they were otherwise Democrat in 2022. I don't see that changing in 2024 and beyond.
Because its Reich rhetoricYou’re lumping all black people together. They are not all the same, and many blacks today started AHEAD of many white people.
Consider LaTisha, a black high schooler in an affluent county, the daughter of a dentist and a teacher, both of whom were beneficiaries of Affirmative Action themselves 30 years ago. Susie has a 3.4 GPA, and despite her private SAT classes, scored no higher than 1160.
Now compare her to SunLee, whose parents immigrated here 25 years ago, with no college, and opened a Mom and Pop grocery store. SunLee has a 3.8 GPA and a 1450 SAT.
Why automatically assume that black people started off behind the other two races? Why should Latisha get into Harvard and SunLee have to go to her second choice?
Works for me.
Certainly better than all the money spent bailing out the banks in the Aughts.
So Biden did something knowing full well it was unconstitutional? That’s a violation of his Oath and yet another reason for impeachment.Not debatable at all. All of them, Pelosi, Biden ... expressly admitted that the Heros Act did not give the President this power.
Another good decision from SCOTUS. They’re batting like .667.6-3 against student loan payoffs. Heroes Act Biden tried to use is a big NO. Yay!
Supreme Court rejects Biden's plan to wipe away $400 billion in student loan debt
A sharply divided Supreme Court ruled Friday that the Biden administration overstepped its authority in trying to cancel or reduce student loans for millions of Americans.www.nbcphiladelphia.com

You didnt pay for your kids college.Here is the decision....
I paid for my kids' college. Glad that I don't have to pay for other people's kids.
You are right, my apologies.
However, I think the chances of Congress passing such a law are slim and it could still be deemed unconstitutional (as it should be).
If I was Joe I'd just ignore the ruling and do it anyway.
Well the point is even when they make a decision we don't agree with....Another good decision from SCOTUS. They’re batting like .667.
You didnt pay for your kids college.
