President Biden’s plan to cancel a portion of student loan debt has drawn mixed reactions from both far-leftists and conservatives across social media as some leftists contend it is not enough while others celebrate it as a victory for racial justice, and conservatives claim it will only benefit elites.
President Biden on Wednesday announced his plan to forgive a portion of student loan debt for individual borrowers making less than $125,000.

How is this legal?
Comes down to the plumber paying off the debt of the lawyer.
Why is Ambassador Susan Rice giving the student loan update at the WH Presser, is she the President? https://www.whitehouse.gov/live/
Cool.
Joe is the Debt Canceller. Next up, the $33 trillion National debt.
Let those who really support this cause donate their own money to it. Don’t force a plumber pay the education debt of a lawyer.
There is not amount of caving that will satisfy those who want
to bankrupt our nation.
Cancel ALL taxation without REPRESENTATION.
FJB
AOC still has to pay up ,LOL
From what I’ve heard this is not legal.
But , to deal with the legalisms, someone would have to pursue this issue in court.
And who knows what would happen in court? Someone somewhere would have to file a lawsuit and claim some harm came to them from the loans being forgiven.
It would not surprise me at all , if a court said any such individual filing such a lawsuit lacked standing, because they were not harmed by this decision.
I think they need to do away with student loans.
Hey, Pedo-Joe. . .
Can I have $20,000 ?
I had to drop out of high school when I turned 16 to work 7 days a week in my dad’s garage.
Over the years I finished high school at night school and earned about 3 years of college credits at night.
All paid for out of my pocket while working 50-60 hour weeks, getting married, raising a family and paying federal income taxes.
If you give me back $20,000 of my tax money I could afford to take the time off to finish my engineering degree.
This is a BS head fake. These rats are assigned to do this to help push a narrative that Biden took “a reasonable middle ground” on the issue and it is a lie.
why stop there!
cancel all credit card debt! cancel all home mortgage debt!
heck! cancel ALL debt!
But, only for those who have debt now! and forget those that take out debt tomorrow!
It’s not. I bet this goes to the courts.
Damn straight also cancel all medical debt and pay off all car loans.
I spent six years getting my BA and worked three part-time jobs to pay for it. I took out a loan as well. I paid it back.
I wonder if I can get reimbursed
I’ll bet leftists even want to cancel private loans.
With a wave of their fairy wand.
Dems don't care about legal. They are in a feeding frenzy.
Leftist state AG's file lawsuits on hypotheticals on behalf of some nebulous, but unnamed, "victim" all the time. They cannot produce a single person who was prevented from voting because of voter ID laws, but the courts hear them anyway and often grant relief, i.e. cancel voter ID laws.
