Student Loan Forgiveness Doesn’t Satisfy All Democrats: It’s Not Enough, ‘Cancel All Student Debt’
Breitbart ^ | 08/24/2022 | HANNAH BLEAU

Posted on 08/24/2022 1:01:01 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
