The Supreme Court has blocked President Biden’s plan to cancel up to $20,000 in student loan debt for more than 40 million Americans. The court’s conservative justices expressed skepticism about Biden’s authority to forgive student loan debt without direct authorization from Congress.
So can we start focusing on addressing the cost of higher education rather than these band-aid “fixes” that are meant for election votes?
The government shouldn’t be giving out predatory loans in the first place. Forgiving them after the fact was never a solution.
This Student loan situation is very much a “the road to hell is paved with good intentions” debacle.
We should dig those people who are now trapped with a predatory loan out of the hole they were put into, and then fix the problem at the root.
What was all the payment plan and interest rate restructuring? Biden and the Democrats are trying to make progress and are being blocked by conservatives at every step. The problem isn’t the current administration focusing on band-aid fixes, its that republicans are actively sabotaging any and all solutions that help the American people.
There is not a single solution to any problem facing the American people that the GOP won’t block. That’s why we get watered down bullshit that only helps the wealthy, because it’s the only thing conservatives will support.
