    Strange though how the previous president doing the exact same thing but with ppp loans for businesses was all fine and dandy. Yes, yes, totally not a political judgement at all, nothing to see here

      PPP was specifically authorized via an act of congress, the thing that the current president did not have.

        Sure, but we shouldn’t forget the context here. Why didn’t they go through congress? Because republicans will shoot it down immediately.

        I think this is important to explicitly spell this out everytime when someone says that they don’t understand how PPP loans where no problem but student loans forgiveness is unable to pass: The problem are the conservative and republicans. They will rather forgive loans for companies than for their citizens!
