President Joe Biden vowed Friday to push ahead with a new plan providing student loan relief for millions of borrowers while blaming Republican “hypocrisy” for triggering the day’s Supreme Court decision that wiped out his original effort.

    Lol. It’s not “Republican hypocrisy”. This action is literally unconstitutional. If Biden wants taxpayers to foot the bill for deadbeats who don’t want to pay back their college debt, he needs to get Congress to fund it.

      It’s actually unconstitutional that the supreme court blocked it. There’s this whole thing called “legal standing” and even a couple months ago Barrett correctly called that into question over the lawsuit, then decided she didn’t care.

      Do you think people with student loans don’t pay taxes or something? What isn’t constitutional is the supreme “court” hearing cases brought by people who had no standing to do so. They should’ve been thrown out immediately. Furthermore the law Biden was using literally allows for this action during a time of national emergency, which the COVID-19 pandemic was. Basically this was an illegal action performed by the Republican’s Strong Arm Activist Political body that is currently masquerading as a court.

      I bet you’re absolutely miserable at parties. You seemingly don’t understand that others have dramatically different circumstances, opportunities, and barriers than yourself. Ie. You lack empathy, or have generally lacked opportunities to understand the human experience in others. We’re in this together. Our job, while we’re alive, generally, is to do anything we can to make more gentle the lives of others.
