Republican AGs get Republican judges to block ANOTHER student loan forgiveness program. This one has been in place for 31 years.

[Professor Emeritus]

Now they're blocking Biden's version of the Income-driven Repayment program, which has been in place for the last 5 presidential administrations. The basic rules for the program haven't changed, and thus its legality shouldn't have changed, the Biden Adminstration just made the forgiveness more generous than before. 7.5 miillion borrowers are already enrolled in the program.





Republicans think, "Stop low-income college grads from getting help with their loans" is a winning strategy in the age of out-of-control college costs. They really want America as uneducated as possible.

republicans are literally rewriting what is "fair and legal" and what isnt, and can take it all the way to their supreme court.

cant underestimate the power of who is allowed to appoint judges. We need dems in control

 

[I Really Mean It]

congrats to everyone who was able to see their loans forgiven before this happened.

This is what frustrates me about the #bothsides argument. Yes dems aren't perfect, yes it's plenty to criticize them for, but saying they are the same is completely disingenuous.

 

[BaggerofTea]

This comes across as almost neo-feudalist in design.


Keep majority of Americans perpetually in debt so all they have time to worry about is paying debt off. Instead of looking in front of them.


Conservatism is an ideology of a psychopath.

Aren’t you maga?

they do that a lot, I guess its part of the disinfo script.


Play quiet agreement with the main theme of the thread (usual about some tyrannical Republican bullshyt) then sneak in "but the Dems" after about 15-20 posts in an attempt to disfigure what and who the thread is about to begin with

 

[Professor Emeritus]

For those who care, the following states are the ones suing to stop student loan relief for low-income earners:

Kansas
Nebraska
Texas
Montana
Idaho
Utah
Alaska
Iowa
Louisiana
Alabama
South Carolina



However, they aren't just stopping student loan relief in their states, they're suing to stop the entire program across the country and they've already succeeded in getting two judges to issue an injunction.

Mine were forgiven last year thank god

 

[Brolic]

Who cares, this won’t affect black people.

If it was under this rule, then that's what the AG's are complaining about. They're saying Biden didn't have the authority to forgive those. Some versions of the report suggest that they might try to get a judge to roll that forgiveness back.

 

[ThatTruth777]

Not doing anything but harming this country

 

[bzb]

the "project 2025" plan by far right republicants aims to eliminate loan repayment based on income altogether.

they also plan to reclassify civil servants in gov as appointees. important because if convicted felon wins he can completely reshape all policy related programs as they see fit.

it's not hyperbole to say republicans plan to completely take over the system and make life impossible for everyone who isn't maga.

i'm not excited about weekend at bernie status biden, but republicans have to be stopped.

You should be fine then, this is just the income-based one.


Republicans in Congress actually passed a resolution to end the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program in May of last year, but Biden vetoed it.

House Republicans pass resolution overturning student loan cancellation; Biden vows to veto

It adds to the GOP's ongoing attack on Biden's one-time student loan cancellation, which was halted in November in response to lawsuits from conservative opponents.
