Correct.
This will lead to cancellation of all debts at some future time, hopefully peacefully.
It’s nothing but a naked attempt to buy votes for this November. Biden apparently thinks that the Millennials/GenZ voters will be enough to counteract the ‘red wave’ on election day.
Who has standing to challenge it? I agree that it’s obviously illegal. Presidents cannot make budgetary decisions of this magnitude without congress, but who has standing?
Biden has no authority to do this.
Of course Obama had no authority to do DACA, but we don’t have an opposition party that will sue to stop it, like they refused to stop DACA.
It’s pure BS, I wish the GOP had been prepared and enabled a lawsuit today.
Fiasco indeed
It also doesn’t rebate those who paid back the loans they sacrificed to pay off.
If the system was completely corrupt then all the victims should be compensated.
Just another expensive RAT election season stunt. FREE MONEY! It’s time the government pays a shrink to see if Obiden has any brain cells left.
U.S. Student Loan Forgiveness Has Borrowers Hoping for Vacations, Medical School

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Americans bearing heavy college debt loads welcomed U.S. President Joe Biden’s announcement on Wednesday that he would forgive $10,000 in student loans, and some shared hopes they can jettison extra work hours and perhaps take a vacation or return to school.
“I would not have second thoughts when planning a trip or going on a vacation,” said John Paul, 49, a restaurant manager in Washington DC who said he took out loans for his son’s tuition. “Earlier, it would be at the back of our mind that we have this debt hanging over us. Now we are somewhat relieved.”
Vincent Joseph, who graduated in 2019 and currently works at a lobbying firm in Washington, said he was happy to hear his remaining $6,500 of debt was likely to be relieved.
“There could be an entire next generation that does not have to work extra hours or additional jobs to repay this debt,” he said.
Kyra Taylor, an attorney with the National Consumer Law Center who focuses on student loans, described the step as “life changing for millions of Americans.”
Taylor, however, added that the plan does not do enough to help borrowers with larger balances, like many Black Americans, who experts say face heavy debt burdens.
“The administration should take additional actions to address racial inequities that the student loan system has exacerbated, and that means Black Americans, and especially Black women, are burdened by more student loan debt just to access the same opportunities as others,” she told Reuters.

Get the government out of the school loan business and colleges will have to stop constantly raising tuition (or let the schools handle the tuition themselves)
Folks, the student loan wipeout is really a precursor to the real plan which is to forgive us of our bank accounts.
Yep, the next step is the govt just auto-withdrawing our bank accounts.
Who’s gonna stop them? The FBI? The FDIC?
Mass debt forgiveness will morph into mass bank account withdrawing.
I paid my student loan back. Do I get reparation or something?
Regressive and probably unconstitutional.
That describes biden’s.,and obama’s presidencies.
Should be unconstitutional and immediately challenged as such.
Further review the Trump court if they don’t act.
It will assist the movement now underway toward a totalitarian Communist government. Just what the Bi-coastal Blues have always wanted.
The purpose of Project Mayhem was to reset all debt to zero, in order to cause world-wide chaos. (Fight Club)
With all of Biden’s fiascos nobody needs to invade the country he’s giving it away.
Xi much happy
I need some help here. Seriously. Why is the WH Resident Pedophile going to give people who received Pell grants up to $20,000. I thought Pell grants were grants and didn’t have to be paid back.
So, if it’s unconstitutional, reverse it.
“household incomes of up to $250,000”
THIS MUST BE STOPPED. The only scenario I can think of when cancelling student debt would be for a person making under 50k, severely disabled, unable to work and HAS been faithfully paying their debt and can no longer do so.
