Two conservative groups are asking a federal court to block the Biden administration’s plan to cancel $39 billion in student loans for more than 800,000 borrowers.

Has this actually helped Biden win support? Because it seems like the same people benefiting from his policies are vocally trashing him
I personally wish he would just say ‘vote for me and I’ll cancel your loans’ or something.
Why do only Republicans play dirty?
This has been shown to work very well in developing countries.
That may be, but if the military is that subsidized, why not some of the normal folk?
That would be a really good idea if Democrats actually wanted to help people and weren’t just pandering.
Conservatives decide to use the court system to fuck over people in need? What a shocker!
These “shocker!” or “I’m sooo surprised!” statements are self indulgent and actually kill the inspiration to fight back in some who read along. They don’t serve a purpose beyond you personally having something to say for the sake of it.
Use that energy for a comment with some substance next time. Maybe you find and link some examples of your premise? Or promote the simple act of registering to vote so that we can get more progressive minded people in offices with mandates to do things like apply enforceable ethical standards to the Supreme Court.

The Education Department called the suit “a desperate attempt from right wing special interests to keep hundreds of thousands of borrowers in debt.”
“We are not going to back down or give an inch when it comes to defending working families,” the department said in a statement.
I know one generation in particular who is going to be pissed about this…
The one who was able to afford a year of college after working a single part-time job over the summer?
Student loans do not effect the wealthy. They simply do not have student loans. For them it is a waste of tax money.
And boomers did not need student loans because college was affordable. They believe you can still get s part time job and pay for school. So to them, quit being so lazy.
Then we have the rich boomers that pay politicians to rage for them.
Tax money that they, by and large, don’t pay anyway

If the forgiveness fails to go through, I wish they’d at least set the interest rate to 0% and/or make the minimum payment something ridiculously low like $20/month. Both would help a lot
Why should they do that?
To make trumpers cry
You’re the same as those who want to ‘own the libs’
That’s the joke smart guy
If the debt is impossible to pay off in a lifetime, people simply won’t pay at all. There’s no point. If they make it possible then more people will try.
If the debt is impossible to pay off in a lifetime, people simply won’t pay at all.
someone with a college degre makes 1-1.5m more in their lifetime than without.
Does anyone you know have 1m in student loans?
Not everyone lives under ideal circumstances regardless of what document they achieved in the past.
The GOP/Nazi party is sickening to watch in their cruelty.

Oh, now we are all about following the rules exactly?
Good, student loans forgiveness is just a handout to the most capable earners of our generation.
The fact that this is such a big talking point for the left shows how little they actually care about marginalized groups, it’s just so easy to get middle/upper middle class white liberals to buy into whatever talking points they want
Right and I’m sure you’re just lined up with solutions to help those marginalized groups 🙄
Conservatives love their whataboutism.

Yeah, take the money that you want to go to rich white educated people who aren’t struggling, and put it towards programs that help those in poverty, give incentives for individuals to donate to food banks, donate their time to charities and after school programs for inner city kids.
I want to offer minorities after school programs to keep them off the streets, you want to give white people making 100k/year a handout. We are not the same
Because everyone in college is white? Your racism is showing.
White and rich apparently. You know, all those people in crippling debt. Rich.
