“The Supreme Court on Wednesday temporarily barred the Biden administration from implementing one of its latest efforts to provide debt relief to Americans with student loans. In a brief unsigned order, the justices declined to allow the Department of Education to put into effect a July 2023 rule, known as the SAVE Plan, intended to provide debt relief for lower-income borrowers while challenges to the rule continue in the lower courts.”

My point is the supreme court justices obviously have red flags going up on this issue as all of us should have. I understand the Supreme Court is ruling on  one specific issue, but the idea about student debt relief is more of a big picture issue and they clearly have constitutional concerns.

My biggest objection is the whole idea behind using the phrase “canceling student debt” is ridiculous, it’s a lie, it’s purposely distorting the truth for political gain.

The bigger political question is does executive office have the authority to take government funds and pay off financial institutions for loans taken out by students for education? I just heard Biden‘s press secretary say Congress control the funds, which is why they need Congress to come back to fix the immigration issue, FEMA funding, etc.  However, if the executive office can move tax money from one account and pay off loans totaling in the billions of dollars, why can’t they take funds and hire 1500 border agents? Why can’t they take funds and give it to FEMA? Why do we say Congress controls the purse strings?
