President Biden to Cancel Another $4.5 Billion in Student Loans

Brett T. | 7:45 PM on October 17, 2024

Here's a sad reminder that Joe Biden is still president, even though he's almost completely absent from daily life. Biden has announced that, in defiance of the Supreme Court, he's going to cancel another $4.5 billion in student loans. Doesn't he realize he doesn't have to buy votes anymore?

Unlawful and corrupt.

Another illegal vote-buying scheme.

And yet he still brags about defying the Supreme Court.

Forcing Americans who are already struggling financially to foot the bill for someone else's college degree is radical and wrong.

Bob Casey should be ashamed for supporting this, but he's too weak to stand up to his own party. https://t.co/45biqRqPkx

My children are paying their own college tuition. Not a single person is helping them and it makes me sick to see all these people getting a free handout at the expense of us older people who pay taxes and are on a fixed income.

Buying votes. Impeachable.

Again? And the Supreme Court will rule against it again. This is getting old

Prettt sure this has been ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court multiple times…but by all means, let’s reward those who defaulted on their loans. What about those who paid off their loans?? Do we get a refund??

Desperate attempt to bolster his legacy.

Nothing suspicious about paying off 4.5 Billion (with a B) in student loans 19 days before the election even though the SCOTUS said it was illegal to do so. Not enough money for Hurricane victims but billions for student loans. Where's the money coming from Democrats?

SCOTUS already ruled against this crap so it’ll get shot down again. And if this administration has billions of dollars to spend on this, why not spend it on hurricane relief for TN and NC?

Debt transfer, not cancellation.

Didn't SCOTUS already declare such executive actions to be unconstitutional? Isn't the executive branch violating the orders of the judicial branch a grave threat to our democracy???
