I'm not surprised they struck it down, but I guess the jaded side of me is surprised they allowed him a different avenue to do the relief instead of making the whole concept illegal.

Also, there was talk from the Republicans about try to force everyone to pay back the interest we would have been paying this entire time. Somewhat surprised they didn't agree to that as well.

Biden's loan forgiveness would have disproportionally benefitted the wealthiest Americans and acted as a wealth transfer upwards.

If the problem is that higher education is not affordable, a one-time debt forgiveness does not solve the problem, and it seems a lot like, "I got mine," then pulling the ladder up. I'd much rather we make higher education free for everyone like they do in Germany, permanently solving the problem by making higher education accessible to every American.

Vote!

So uhhh… if we all just don’t pay…. They can’t come after all of us, right?

When you start feeling hopeless about student loans not being forgiven, remember that PPP loans were all forgiven. PPP loans taken out by businesses and corporations. Domination is the point with all of the subhuman unwashed anuses leading this country. Never forget how they line their own pockets at our expense, and fight against us at every turn with the courts and all three branches of government. All of it has been weaponized against us and no longer serves us in any capacity.

With conservatives, the cruelty is always the point. Same applies here. SCOTUS is just enforcing death on the impoverished.

And yet we are somehow allowed to issue billions in forgivable loans to churches that don't pay taxes.

They could've at least fed us dinner before we got fucked!

The Supreme Court is a fucking joke. Scratch that, this entire fucking country is a joke.

Why should people not have to pay back money they borrowed?

Biden suspected this would happen, hence why he was previously doing student loan forgiveness in smaller increments. But people kept pushing him to do the entire thing and claiming that he was actively against students because he wasn't. No, he knew this happening was a high possibility.

And this case sets much bigger precedents than the specific subject, precedents in two areas.

1. The specific claim that the Secretary was "transforming" the law rather than tweaking things is asinine, especially since the HEROES Act was incredibly vague in the first place. So this sets precedent that any usage of a law outside of explicitly what it says (difficult to even determine when a bill is so vague) gives leverage to reverse any executive action in enacting the law. Which will just allow massive conservative obstructionism even more on everything.

2. The entire case having standing as it is. Why do 6 states have standing to sue on something done in regards to federal loans? The idea that states can sue on any federal issue now is concerning to the extreme.

Sorry guys you have to do like the Boomers you don't like and be responsible and pay off your debt like the rest of us did.

Ouch. I am not looking forward to the economical impact of this.....

Welp, I'm fucked.
