July 18 (Reuters) - A federal appeals court on Thursday blocked President Joe Biden's administration from continuing to implement a new student debt relief plan designed to lower monthly payments for millions of Americans. The St. Louis-based 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted a request, opens new tab by seven Republican-led states to put on hold parts of the U.S. Department of Education's debt relief plan that had not already been blocked by a lower-court judge.

Biden has convinced himself that SCOTUS is illegitimate, so he will ignore this ruling and try it again.

The #1 funding source for student loans happens to be the federal government retirement and pension plans. So does anyone with a brain and a few trips around the town really think that was gonna happen?

Biden thinks he doesn’t need Congress to spend money. He’s creepy.

About time. I was surprised to hear he was writing off another 1-2 billion earlier today. I just hope they can reverse all of the give aways since they were issued after the courts already reversed the move. And congress never authorized them.

All student loan debt should be waived.
If we can give Israel and Ukraine billions of dollars, we can afford to wipe out student loan debt.
Then, all federal government involvement in education should cease to exist.

we can’t afford to do ANY of that.

We are BROKE. the only thing keeping the fedgov afloat is the ability to just print faux money out of thin air.

Agreed. If they have took out $30,000 and they have paid $30,000, then the loan has been paid back. Enough with these predatory lending student loan companies.

Trump MO: lose in lower “partisan hack” courts and win in higher courts

Biden MO. win in lower “partisan hack” courts and lose in higher courts.

But honestly, Biden loses a lot even in the lower courts.

Sorry folks, but these students knowingly signed on the dotted line. Pay up.

Foreign aid and welfare should be eliminated. That would pay for the student loan debt.
