Could this somehow be connected with an election?

How in the hell do those considered disabled have a right to debt relief? they are already getting other benefits, aren't they?

People’s disabilities do not establish a right to have their debt discharged any more than people’s circumstances are delegations of power to government to address those circumstances.

So-called “progressives” are lawless...

Somewhat from the article: "The borrowers identified by the Department won’t have to go through the typical application process for receiving a disability discharge, which requires sending in documented proof of their disability. Instead, the borrower will simply have to sign and return the completed application enclosed in the letter that he, she, whatever are, am, is a Democrat."

Can I ask WTH they bothered to get those degrees for, if they couldn’t possibly use them?

Laws? Obama? You must be joking...know any other good party jokes?? All while the GOPe does nothing to stop him in return for “hands off” treatment. Pretty sweet setup for both corrupt parties while they steal from the taxpayers.

"“Americans with disabilities have a right to student loan relief,” Ted Mitchell, the undersecretary of education, said in a statement."

Okay. So who decides what a disability is? So many have been busted playing basketball while claiming disability. That system is beyond broken.

Backdoor the free education, another step towards transforming the US into a Euro style democratic-socialist country.

Universities indoctrinate students to the glories of ever-expanding government, and then Da Gummint assures that Universities face ZERO RISK of the tuition loans.

ONE HAND WASHES THE OTHER, NICE ARRANGEMENT.

That’s an easy one - because he enjoys few things in life more than p*ssing away the money of hard-working Americans.

“Okay. So who decides what a disability is?

That is a very good question. In the private sector, insurance companies will not cover very risky activities as they are more likely to cause injury or death.

Same should be the case here. Being overweight is defined now as a disability, so one can eat himself into forgiveness of a student loan, I guess.

Obama is not doing this on his own. He doesn’t do anything to be nice or fair, look at what he’s done for blacks.
