President Biden’s new income-driven repayment plan for student loans will cost $475 billion over 10 years, according to the Penn Wharton Budget Model, tens of billions of dollars more than an earlier plan that the Supreme Court struck down last month.

No tax dollars to either
And in cumulating debt / compounded interest, much more than this. And lowering the buying power of those that were bailed out, and everyone else as well. A net negative for everyone.
She probably had difficulty finding something.
Is anyone filing a lawsuit to stop this? What about the AGs who won the recent Supreme Court case?
What is the status of lawsuits by states and others against this? Doesn’t Congress have a say in such a large expenditure?
Hey, it’s only money. I would like to have a time machine to see what history books a thousand years from now call this period. It seems like we building to an Old Testament conclusion with all of this spending and social upheaval.
Remember the old days when the Supreme Court Said he couldn’t do it?

And Speaker McCarthy just sits back and watches the destruction of our Laws and Country.
Don’t kid yourself, the Speaker has an Unbelievable amount of power that he just plain REFUSES to exercise. The reporting said Biden was going to do this thru the department of education. McCarthy has absolute and unchecked authority to hold the Department Head in CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS and can JAIL him until next year without question, while he is in JAIL you Impeach him, then do that for his replacement, rinse and repeat until there is NOBODY in charge.
No. I am not that old
Why have two legislatures when one man can be a dictator?
And he even rants and likes German Shepherds.
Call it what it is - a bank bailout. They don’t give a crap about students, they do care that their friends are bailed out of bad loans with our money.
