Student loans

yeah...i'm a fan of our legal system deciding constitutionality and sanctions for any violations thereof according to its customary procedures

y'all's mileage may vary

corollary: sometimes i disagree with a particular verdict or ruling but don't go around whinin' and cryin' about DC juries and the unfairness of it all

Because you don't have conservative courts making up rulings or giving lib people jail time for walking around places after being invited in. If libs start getting done like that you would do a 180 quickly.

For an intelligent person as you claim to be it amazes me the blind spots that you have. Your ignorance (not stupidity) to what's going on around you is pretty mind-blowing.

Not really. He found a way to accomplish a smaller amount of loan forgiveness that didn't run foul of the SC ruling. Bad policy. But notdusrespectful

If his latest efforts at loan forgiveness are unconstitutional, those with standing are free to sue.

I don't claim to know whether it is constitutional or not. Unlike some around here I understand the courts are the venue for making those kinds of determinations. What I have on such matters are opinions and nothing more.

On April 21, the Department of Education announced that it would resume collections on defaulted federal student loans, making a clear break from student loan policy under President Joe Biden, who consistently worked to forgive or pause federal student loan payments even as he faced legal defeat.

"American taxpayers will no longer be forced to serve as collateral for irresponsible student loan policies," Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said in a press release. "The Biden Administration misled borrowers: the executive branch does not have the constitutional authority to wipe debt away, nor do the loan balances simply disappear."

…

While the Trump administration started a pause on federal student loan payments in 2020, the Biden administration continued it for over three years. In 2023, a working paper found that the pause had actually left the average federal borrower with more, not less, debt.
