The Biden administration will ask the Supreme Court to step in and let them restart their student loan forgiveness program which was blocked after six Republican states sued the White House.

#NBCNews #Biden #StudentLoans
Taxpayer money should not go towards paying for other individuals career choices. If people can’t afford this debt, then the source of the education needs to be investigated for charging so much.
@Alexis Dimes it’s regulation that caused this.
@Justin I’m sure that degree in philosophy will come in handy.
@OneAndOnlySurge absolutely wrong. the PPP loans were voted on and passed by congress because the government forced businesses to close you complete dope. No one forced you to stupidly gamble on your future.
They are being investigated. There are so many lawsuits regarding student loan fraud. This is why there is a student loan forgiveness proposal. Look up Sweet vs. Cardona. Look how many colleges defrauded their students.
@Rachel Mayfield then make the colleges pay, not my kids who both just paid them off. this affects less than 14% of americans and will never happen without going through congress
Biden knew full well it had to be passed by Congress, and wouldn’t be. He just lied again to Americans to get more votes. Will be very interesting how or IF he’ll explain this one, WITHOUT lying.
Biden is under investigation for human trafficking. I doubt he’ll be getting asked anything but to turn around and place his hands behind his back as he’s read his rights. Traitor Joe
Russell Brand’s take on this says it all.
Russell Brand 😂🤣😂🤣
@OneAndOnlySurge Russel has become one of the few voices with reason these days :). Check his content out.
Joe tricked college students twice for their votes. If he’s still around he’ll dangle it over your head in 2024
Ole joey “come on man”
It’s time to put Bozo Buyden on house arrest while the special investigation into his and his family’s communist China crime spree is investigated.
Neither party cares. Bidens approval ratings are so low he did the exec order. Don’t forget the Crimebill Kamala used well as a prosecutor. The back and forth is to divide the people.
They aren’t really fighting for student loan forgiveness.
They are really fighting for the students votes.
@HeavenlyVirtue 2 YEAR old bot account
@Justin Who do you think employees and provides all the necessary things the other 99% want? How do you become the 1%? Providing things the 99% want.
Yes they prey on poor people cause they have nothing to lose.
And that my friends is the facts!!
@Justin racist Democrats still in the LA city council. I thought leftists didn’t like racists, but of course when a blue Dem like De Leon says racist things you clap like a seal
Top news finest
Question: do they even have the legal authority to do this?
This seems like a major overreach by the government, or am I wrong?
@Justin No, they can’t
@residentgrey No, it can’t
@Bill Delahunt The government can pay down the debt they lent.
@Faux Que It’s not Biden who’s forgiving the debt, it’s the Secretary of Education who has already been authorized by Congress to forgive debt.
@residentgrey Yes, it is. He is trying to forgive debt, which is money, which belongs to the government, which he does not control the spending of that money.
Sorry folks we created a cure for cancer, but we can’t release it because it would be unfair to those who died of cancer.
Maybe you shouldn’t go to a university if you can’t pay your own debt.
everyone does. Get into an accident and try staying afloat.
Other countries have people pay back student loans with 0% interest through garnished wages after income is above $25k because they invest in their society. Here in the US we make you pay double loan amount before you will pay it off. And then have the audacity to complain if they ever do anything to lower it.
Thank Obama for that, it was his deals, with student loans, before him there was no Student loans, you or your parents had to help pay.
We’re not other countries as more than likely we probably financing a lot of other countries civil stuff.
They agreed to pay it back, high interest or not. They signed a contract, which is law binding by the way.
This isn’t about what they are going through to get a degree.
It’s about them not wanting to honor their end of contract because it just got too hard for them to pay back, the whole college thing was a bust, so now they want the rest of us to pay it back for them.
Why should we be the ones to pay it for them?
@El Chupa Nibre maybe you skipped Basic economics. Because when more people have money to spend the economy does better as a whole. When People have money to spend businesses revenues go up. The only people who win if debt don’t get paid our the banking institutions who don’t get the interest on the loans
@Kingsofjuda
Spoken like a true PARASITE, raising my taxes means I have less money to spend.
Pay your own bills, PARASITE.
They waited for midterms to give the forgiveness loan’s and stopped it after midterms were over! Now they have 2 years before the presidential election so start it up the forgiveness loan again!
They will defer to the lower court ruling as per usual protocol
No
LOL, LMAO
NO!!!
Biden – “I’ll eliminate student loan debt!”
People with common sense – “Um, you don’t have the authority to do that.”
Biden – “I know, but my voters are too stupid to realize it until after the election.”
@OneAndOnlySurge it didn’t happen because too many of you fell for Pedo Pete’s lies. I’ll be honest, we anticipated a red wave because we severely underestimated how many mentally disabled people there are in the country. At least Republicans took back Congress tho so Biden’s evil agenda will get delayed. Not the “tsunami” we were hoping for but a win nonetheless. 🤷♀️
@DaFeekiel Elliott 😂😂😂
@OneAndOnlySurge What happened to the House? Oh wait, it’s the GOP’s now.
@OneAndOnlySurge seethe ❄️
So what happens when he passes it
In REAL NEWS, Pedojoe Biden been accused of human trafficking by a sitting House member.
If it’s unconstitutional, it’s unconstitutional.
Why would the Supreme Court rule against the Constitution?
You’ll see another 6-3 decision unless Jumanji upholds the constitution like she swore she would do. The other liberal Justices rule by feelings and not based on the Constitution
These idiots must go! No Law, No Accountability and No one’s Stopping it! How long will the American People be ignored?
As long as the American people are shouting their conspiracy theories about how Trump’s election was “stolen” 😂
The problem with Student Loans is the fact we do not treat them like other Loans!
Just look at how the rich use Bankruptcies to get out of debt and ask why the poor can’t do the same for their debts?
Why must only teenagers and young adults be forced to ‘pay back their debts’ while the old debtors can get out of it?
Especially when it was a Government Program that created the Debt problem in the first place?!
What… you forgot what happened in the 1990’s that created this whole student debt industry?
Noooo. Too bad. Hard working Americans should not have to pay for anyone’s schooling. Stuff it up you gussets.
If u took gender studies why should a plumber pay for that?
@Gran
That’s adorable coming from the Trumpcult. You couldn’t get into college to mow the grass. 🤣
@ZoomShakaLaka how dare u assume my sexual orientation. And here I thot u were a pronoun leftist
@Doug Fife
You thought a lot of things. It’s why Trump picked you.
@ZoomShakaLaka All that education and best you can come up with are childish insults. What a rip, no wonder you want to skip out on your student loan!
@Gran
Get someone to read this next part to you slowly, doorknob: I ALREADY PAID MINE. You want me to use bigger words on you, but you’re struggling with basic comprehension. The college you’ll be paying for is the current generation of youth. I’ve made more money than your entire trailer park already.
Mutant Tranny Green got a loan forgiven along with other political leaches and corporations. So yeah students deserve a bailout and or loan forgiveness.
Get bent. joe… we are NOT paying off everyone’s loans!!!
Yes, you are.
@ZoomShakaLaka no we aren’t you kumquat.
@quasar3210
We weren’t asking permission. You don’t get a choice. You’ll either bend the knee or it will be bent.
LOL
Cry more boomers, the student relief is a drop in the bucket compared to the incomprehensibly large PPP loan out a majority of businesses fraudulently applied for.
Once again Joe fails to read the Constitution. It clearly states which branch is in charge of spending.
BIDENS BIG LIE,
Screw paying for your BRAINWASHING!
PPP loans shouldn’t be forgiven too … it’s the same argument “ students paid taxes for those PPP loans” everyone’s tax money. Some of those PPP loans are 10 to 100 times more than the measly $20k
@Tadan Laws government/ society pretty much forced people to go to college when a college degree was a requirement for most jobs. The times have changed with technology, but prior to the tech boom, people were not getting any good paying jobs unless they have a degree. Government was allowing schools like ITT tech, Devry, Cornithian college take advantage of young people. Also, there was the Masters requirements for advancements. Knocking of $20k off someone’s student debit is less than the average of $79k on PPP loans.
@Faux Que PPP were loans and you had to apply for forgiveness, just like you have to apply for student loan forgiveness. And it’s not Biden who’s forgiving the debt, it’s the Secretary of Education who is already authorized to forgive debt by Congress.
@Jonny Tang I’d have to disagree. People going to college and getting useless degrees in things that will not pay them enough is not the tax payers problem. There are plenty of trade schools that have you in and out in a year and cost hardly anything, but once done you can easily go find a job that’ll pay you a sufficient wage. It I was never forced on anyone. No one told you or anyone else you have to take out this loan, you did in on your own.
@Justin But who gave the secretary of education the power to forgive other people loans by using the peoples tax dollars. Ppp loans were put in place because the government forced people to close up shop and not run there business. If the government forces you to shut down your business then they have to compensate you so you can keep paying your employees. How is the forced shut down of businesses even close to the same as someone taking a loan out for college?
@Justin If you’re referring to the Heroes Act, that was null and void once Biden declared the pandemic is over. No national crisis, no Heroes Act, no power to the Secretary of Education.
I paid my student loan off by using my education. All you music, history, and basket weavers should have picked a marketable major before you signed a contract!
@Dakota the plumber
You & I will pay off their debts to help the economy.
Cope achieved.
@Dakota the plumber
Oh not mine. I paid for mine. We’re talking about the next generation, and your permission is neither sought nor required. You will either bend the knee or it will be bent for you.
@ZoomShakaLaka sorry ❄️. You are too weak to make us do any bending. Cope and seethe. Nobody is going to pay for your worthless gender studies degree. Save your tears for someone who cares.
@Dakota the plumber
And yet pay it you will. Fold you up like a paper menu.
@Dakota the plumber
Again, I already paid for my degree. You’re paying for the next generation. Now find a seat.
Probably will go down as the most corrupt president in history.
“10 to be held by H for THE BIG GUY”… who does a CRYPTIC BUSINESS DEAL, with LETTERS AND NICKNAMES instead of real names, unless THEY’RE HIDING SOMETHING? That SHOWS INTENT
Exactly!
Your loan, your responsibility. So long suckers.
Nope
What a stupid dude, he been in the Congress for 40 years and still doesn’t know what the Congress can do and cannot.
My mouse wants loan forgiveness
So nothing on Biden stealing tax payer money with Ukraine and ftx? Why not? Or what about Biden and the crime family investigations? Oh wait you aren’t real news.
No thank u trash it
The same scotus he keeps taking a crap on? Ha ha haha
Can’t do that.. THERE ARE 3 BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT FOR CHECKS AND BALANCES.. SO NOT ONE BRANCH GAINS ALL CONTROL.. WHICH IS WHAT HE’S TRYING TO DO…
this stupidity is a distraction. There is no actual injunction. They are using it as a delusional excuse to backtrack.
The ultra rich won’t let that happen we should just drag them all out and let the buzzards have a feast LOL
Not happening
What about all the Democrats money why don’t they pay off student loans instead of the taxpayers I don’t remember signing alone except for my nephew nephew
Got played for votes by a career politician.
Joseph😮
GOP, it’s easy staying rich no matter the circumstances but STOP BLOCKING THE SYSTEM THAT HAS MADE YOU FILTHY RICH. It is not yours to control
@BTone Major Your stance is flawed. My guess is that you are more ‘class warfare’ inclined. There really isnt much of a difference in Political affiliation with those making over $100,000/year.
@AVENUE Remove the male GOP-leaders from the American Political Spectrum and replace them with handkerchiefs, fix the problems on the streets with all Americans INCLUDING African-Americans and immigrants (you might leave them out hence I remind you), remove all unnecessary weapons from society, make sure every individual has something to live for and some cash and your country is GUCCI for ALL Americans to live in peace, and not just you and the few
@AVENUE Im not F#*N around here. The death and theft on American soil is no more, you’ve had your time and money and you bring the country in complete distress by not participating when you wish and then whining line a little b#*h when you are being pressed on. For centuries you can’t fix the gun-issue killings and then tighten your A€€hole shut when someone wants to deal with the problems. GIVE ME THE LAST SUCCESSFUL REPUBLICAN PRESIDENCY PLEASE
@BTone Major The system was never designed to share the wealth around. Take you Karl Marx philosphy elsewhere. We live in a Constitutional Republic with a free market economy, where hard work and merit allows for success.
@AVENUE See this? This is what Democrats do: we solve Republican mess over and over and over again and you just walk away like nothing happened. It barely leaves time in our 2 terms to even get to our own agenda: F#*K you GOP for messing up Democracy
the Supreme Court knows that the constitution spells out the Presidents ability to issue Executive Orders
the Student Loan Forgiveness will resume
@Nick Ader IN other words, a President has unlimited powers to sign an executive order for anything.
OK thanks
@AVENUE
you read my original post where i explained the Presidents ability to issue Executive Orders are clearly spelled out in the Constitution
you are they only one claiming the President has unlimited power, arent you
@Nick Ader I went in and read it again. You may have a point. I gladly admit I might be mistaken. But, this issue is ‘murky’ at best. Many other factors to consider, but it may end up being an issue for Congress to step in. Thanks for the correction, but neither one of us are sure of the outcome.
@AVENUE
best regards this Holiday Season !
@Nick Ader Thanks Nick
Be in courts for years.Folks must know this.
It never could and never will pass. Democrats just want to make it look like Republicans are blocking it so they can score political points. Yet another Democrat ploy to secure votes from the young and dumb, which seems to be their bread and butter
Presidents don’t have the authority to cancel debt owed to the taxpayers. It has to be a bill passed by Congress.
@residentgrey They gave you multiple checks to do nothing, even if you were still working and pushed back student loan payments 8 times. Get off it and get to work. Never going to make it if you don’t get off you a$$ and stop making your problems into other peoples.
@EP what multiple checks?
@EP people work multiple jobs and for what? Debt. GFY
@residentgrey Yeah, the 3 Covid relief checks that were issued to Americans from 2020 -2021. You probably spent them on a new TV, gaming console, or purple hair dye instead of groceries, utility bills, and student loans
@residentgrey You’re the one who decides where you live, where you work, and how you choose to spend your money. If you choose to live outside of your means, that is on you. God Bless your hatefilled heart
The Midterms are over Joe. You knew that this was unconstitutional. The obvious answer is – you know the SCOTUS will rule according to our Constitution, and you are using this to create more hate, division and threats of violence against our Justices. POS
Smh
What did Nancy Pelosi the Speaker of the House say about Biden’s ability cancel student loans? “The president can’t do it,” Pelosi said, at a press briefing. “That’s not even a discussion.” This was a scam to win the Senate.
No prob. Joe has billions more to hand out while we suffer. Enjoy thanksgiving, because its now gonna cost twice as much.
Just trying to dump their ploy on the very court they rampaged in the street against a few months ago! Lol gotta love it
They knew it was unconstitutional from the beginning and made the promise anyway because they knew that they could get student votes for the Presidential election and midterms. Even Nancy Pelosi said on the news that the President does not have the power to do it. And now they will play it off like they are fighting to win approval because Big Bad Republicans won’t let them pay off loans with other people’s money for political points, while it has always been a shell game. If you aren’t wise to game, then educate yourself in civics and don’t get your “news” from Facebook
The only reason Joe wants to pay off part of these the student loans is because the universities gave him billions to get elected and he is just paying them back
Tricked gen z into voting D and then trolled em lol.
Lol, Biden has to ask.🤡
SO NO ARRESST OF POLITICIANS FUNNELING TAX PAYER DOLLAR TO DEMOCRATIC PARTYTHROUGH FTX!!?
You can’t “restart,” or “reinstate,” something that never was…
Impeach biden on Jan 6 2023 That all we are hoping for Justice for all
Let’s hope SCOTUS has more sense than Biden! #PAYYOUROWNWAY
Praise be to Biden. (Fleas be upon him. May the sewers of Rangoon back up into his breakfast.).
@phillips wright
that is totally true, but how well does a financial advisor improve your profit? What is the experience like using an advisor?
@Abdullahi Umar A lot has changed and that’s on everything but the truth is i don’t even care much about bullish or bearish market because STEVE A KORDUCKI advisory service got me cover as I am comfortably making enough monthly
@Diamond Ray how can i reach him?
@Abdullahi Umar Look him up on the web, you can reach him through his personal site
Biden axed the Keystone pipeline so instead of buying Canadian oil, the USA has to beg Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. Both countries have poor human rights history yet Liberals and Democrats still support him. Oh the hypocrisy…
If one pays for an education that cannot pay for itself, they should ask for a refund.
The product isn’t the problem, the greedy pricing is.
….they are. That’s what this is about. People were fooled into expensive degrees that didn’t match the promise made. They are asking for a refund.
The US is greedy. We need to start investing in the people
Time to impeach Biden .
They’re working on it…
You agreed to the contract it’s your responsibility. It’s not someone else’s responsibility to pay for what you are getting the benefit from.
Wrong
@Derek Voglis you are correct, you are wrong. You don’t need to announce it though.
It’s wrong and should never been allowed to take place. Biden is wrong
This is not the scotus job it is congress
🎯
Lol. He does not care if it is unblocked. All he wanted was for these idiots to vote for demorcats in the mid-terms.
And they wonder why their ratings are so low..
The GI bill is a pretty good “student loan forgiveness” program. Just saying…
Republicans do not solve problems. They complain and offer no solutions. Democrats actually want to help people .
People with money (serious money) have tax forgiveness (oops, tax breaks), people with debts have debt forgiveness. What’s wrong with you guys??
Democrats just did this to get young people’s votes they never intended to pay off their loans
Gen Z…fooled again by “free stuff”. 😂
Republicans are just cruel and mean to American citizens. Their Gerrymandering the crap out of states got them the House. Stop voting for these MADMEN.
Biden: hates the living guts out of the conservative majority supreme court
Also Biden: Hey guys…mind doing me a little favor pweaseee?
Intervene for me President Vegetable Lasagna. I owe less in a mortgage than deadbeat students……
Best way to eliminate student loans is don’t go to college. It’s a scam. Freemasons created the first college called Harvard University, and they use college degrees to control people. They threaten to take your license away. I went to college and the school closed before I got my transcripts, so I have no proof of my education.
How about pay of mortgages instead now that will help more than anything
F. O. B.
Its two teams playing football. Two yards down from a touch down . Your about to take a kick. A black team represents the kabal, tech giants , illuminati, deep state, liars fake media all your lefty in left field. The ball is about to be hiked. (This is a prophesy and will come to past.) A Dog in the stands starts to bark loudly and louder , but to you hes just barking hes a dog what can he do. Suddenly the football gets fumbled and taken. Your oops we got to get this back across the line but you not expecting this one. A touch down is announced too early but oh no too bad you didn’t earn or make it the score board was reversed I saw numbers on the board I saw the black team scramble like out of control. Out of their minds not able to think straight, there are going to score, the dogs are barking,”shut up that dog up. The red team running back with the ball across the 50 yard line . Another dog you screamed what is this , what is going on. Touch down on the other end .the referred came out and took points from your team. All of them you been cheating this whole time. The score board went from black had 80 and red had 20 , it red the opposite at the end.
Honestly I don’t care what you say, what you do. How or your condemning words your lies and deception, your plan is over itd over its never going to work. GOD IS GOING TO STAND UP AGAINST YOU, THE SCANDLE THAT NO ONE EVER EXPECTED HAPPENED, IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED AND YOU WILL BE EXPOSED FOR EVERY LIE. THERE WILL BE NO MORE HIDING , ALL YOUR HIDING PLACES ARE REMOVED
Remember Student loan pay off, and soon Military Draft. The Government has no money, only the Tax payers, So who is paying ???
How about you pay your own f**king bills.
Why would they listen to him? Has he secured their private residences from the nutjob demonstrations? Worthless dinosaur.
Mr Magoo 😅
If Biden and his Administration want to help students, they need to dig in their own pockets for the money. Taxes are for maintaining the Government, not a charitable contribution…
Make PPP loan recipients pay back their freaking debt. Nobody gets free money.
People are so burnt out theres 102% going to be a student loan debt strike.
People are just gone.
Like losing their minds from losing jobs during Covid, catching Covid losing jobs, the recession, inflation.
Like what are people suppose to do, they werent even guaranteed an ability to work and pay off student loans during the pandemic, thats why they put it on pause, because they forced a shutdown.
Thats setting everyone up for failure.
TRILLIONS go to the Republican backed Military!! bunch of hypocrisy! Democracy should prevail 😎 #sorryNOTsorry 😂
SCOTUS will shot it down for sure. Biden has no intention to give cancellation, just cook it up for the election.
$90 billion to Ukraine in a single year, but Biden cannot cancel $10k student for millions who pay taxes.
When you are above the Law and make laws for everybody else then Ethics is thrown out the Window… Just Look at Cookie Ginni Thomas, a Right Wing Nut who uses her Husbands authority for her Own political Gains,, Same with Justice Samuel Alito who leaked the outcome of a 2014 decision in the case of Hobby Lobby v. Burwell., Also Leaked was Roe v. Wade. Justices above the Law have no Ethics and Vote only Partasan like Clarence Thomas in support of Ginni Thomas’s Issues… Our Justices No Longer Represent the People of the United States.. They are above the Law and have No One who can Ride Heard on their Unethical Practices…
Asking the court to break the law. SMH.
