Saw this coming. To all of the 18-21 year old that voted blue for this reason only. You got played. Hahahaha

I recall that when Biden signed the EO, he said (paraprhasing) "It's probably unconstitutional, but I'm going to do it anyway."

Can you imagine the uproar in the with the Democrats and in the media if a Republican outright said something like that?

Yep, but it's not over.

Biden senior adviser says ‘we’re going to prevail’ after judge strikes down student loan relief

BY OLAFIMIHAN OSHIN - 11/13/22 3:30 PM ET
 

Anita Dunn, a senior adviser to President Biden, said on Sunday that the administration is going to win the legal battle over student debt relief after a federal judge struck down the administration’s initiative earlier this week.

Texas district judge Mark Pittman on Friday struck down the Biden administration’s student loan forgiveness initiative, saying that the proposed program is “an unconstitutional exercise of Congress’s legislative power.” 

During Dunn’s appearance on CBS’s “Face The Nation,” moderator Margaret Brennan noted that millions of young voters cast ballots for Democrats in last week’s midterm elections due to the expectation of their loans being forgiven. 

Dunn said the administration fully expected to prevail, as the law is on its side.

“And make no mistake about it … President Biden made this commitment to people in America. It’s not just young people. It’s also people of every age,” Dunn told Brennan.

“We believe we’re going to prevail in court. And at that point, we will swiftly move to make sure that the over 26 million people at this point who have — whose information this administration has — that we’ll move swiftly for loan forgiveness,” Dunn added. 

The lawsuit against the Biden administration was filed last month by conservative advocacy group the Job Creators Network Foundation, on behalf of one borrower who is ineligible for the relief program and another who is not eligible for the full $20,000. 

The Biden administration’s student debt relief initiative would include $10,000 in loan forgiveness for borrowers who make less than $125,000 annually and up to $20,00 for Pell Grant recipients.

Democrats ran with this as a key part of their platform for the last two cycles and got plenty of votes because of it....and he doesn't even have the power to do it.  They elected Joe to do something he has no authority to do...but it worked to get the votes they wanted.

Think you are conflating that with evictions. 

That's a possibility.

But there is this, from Time magazine:

Quote

What we know: President Biden himself once cast doubt on whether he could unilaterally forgive billions of dollars worth of loans. “I don’t think I have the authority to do it by signing with a pen,” he said in February 2021. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, of California, agreed with him. “People think the president of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness,” she said in July 2021. “He does not. He can postpone. He can delay. But he does not have that power. That has to be an act of Congress.”

Let us hope not.....this is unconstitutional and these people should have to pay back their loans....they knew what they were getting when they took the money....it was their own fault, not the taxpayers that they wanted to take money out for schooling....

Student loans should not come from the government at all....it should be done through the private sector.....if they don't pay back their loans and/or forgiven of their loans, then that is just a waste of taxpayer money----something our government already does with greatness. 

Borrow the money--pay it back...it's a choice not have to borrow the money....

So loan forgiveness for college students = illegal

The PP loan given to corporations during Covid shutdown is forgiven = legal ?  

Answer should be simple.  Was PP forgiveness something passed by Congress?  Or pen & phone EO "legislation?"

@BlahBlah, these don't matter though! They got a R by their name... not 1 "conservative" on here bringing this up.. that's why I don't care if Biden forgives these college students debt 

There's a DIFFERENCE, though. The PPP was done via Congress, and had the conditions for loan forgiveness built in.

Biden used an EO.
