America: We need to reduce cost of education!
Government: Hey let's put our taxes towards cheaper education!
America: no.
America, can you explain?
The system is rigged by the greediest people in the country.
Why is it rigged? Are adults surprised they're obliged to pay back money they borrowed?I
When the richest people in the country get loan forgiveness then yes, it can be surprising that the poor don't get it.
American here. I can explain: Republicans.
This plan required an act of Congress, the president acted unilaterally and illegally in instituting the plan. The president isn't a dictator, he must go through congress for quite a number of things.
Except this wasn't enacted by the president but by the Secretary of Education under the Biden administration and the power was given to them by congress as part of the HEROES act.
If the supreme court wasn't corrupt, they might have still struck this down but not under the cases that reached the supreme court. The fact that they found the original cases to have standing is actually insane and it's likely to open a can of worms because they were basically:
"it's not fair for only certain groups to benefit from government programs."
Do you know how many things are going to be challenged now? And, for it not to create chaos, these new challenges will have to go to the supreme court again where they will have to do mental gymnastics to backpedal on why their decision applies here but not on whatever weird future cases. Jesus what a circus.
It very specifically was not, and that is the issue.
" The HEROES Act … does not allow the Secretary to rewrite that statute to the extent of canceling $430 billion of student loan principal."
The extent of the power of the HEROES act is debatable and thus why this has reached the supreme court. If you read it, the HEROES act was very vague the begin with, as these things often out in our messed up legal system. Like I said. They could argue against or for the HEROES ability to grant this power and they could easily argue it either way because that's how our legal system works. But, that they did it with these cases is still insane because the sanding for these cases is wacko.
The standing wasnt wacko. You're just not informed about the facts of the case. Missouri stood to lose about 44mil/yr or somewhere around there. That's legitimate standing, regardless of your politics.
