The left knows that the student loan debt ‘forgiveness’ gravy train is coming to an end when Biden leaves office, so they are urging him to up his game before the end of his presidency.
The United States Supreme Court has already told Biden that he can’t do this but no one on the left seems to care about that. Shocker.
FOX News reports:
Top Dems, activists call on Biden admin to dole out more student loan forgiveness before term endsTop Democratic lawmakers and activists alike are calling on the Biden administration to ignore a federal injunction and continue wiping out student loan debt before the president leaves office.Sens. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Ed Markey, D-Mass, held a press conference alongside a cohort of activist groups on Wednesday from the nation’s capital, calling on the Department of Education to finish granting federal student loan forgiveness for borrowers it pledged to help. These borrowers attended either now-defunct or predatory for-profit colleges.”I’m urging the Biden administration in the closing hours of their administration – the last seven weeks – come to the rescue of these students as quickly as possible,” Durbin said Monday from the Senate floor…On Wednesday, Durbin and Markey will be joined by groups like PPSL to continue urging the Biden administration to maximize student debt relief. The calls come even though the program, known as the “borrower defense loan discharge program,” remains tied up in litigation after a federal court issued an injunction last year.
Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) chairs the House Education Committee and is fighting back on this.
The New York Post reports:
House education chair demands Biden admin nix ‘blatantly illegal’ latest student loan schemeHouse Education Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx is ripping the outgoing Biden administration’s latest proposed student loan forgiveness scheme as “blatantly illegal” and demanding the federal Department of Education nix it.Just before last month’s election, the Department of Education announced it was launching yet another attempt to get through President Biden’s hotly controversial plan despite numerous court slap-downs in the past.The latest machination would again offer to broadly wipe out student loans based on hardship, including those thought to have an “80% chance of being in default within the next two years.”“This fourth scheme is just as legally dubious as the prior Biden-Harris administration attempts to ‘cancel’ student loan borrowers’ debts, but have the American taxpayer pick up the tab,” Foxx wrote to DOE Secretary Miguel Cardona in a Monday letter exclusively obtained by The Post.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is also fighting Biden on this.
Taxpayers, many of whom did not go to college or paid off their student loans, should not be on the hook for the student loan debt of other people. How many times must this be explained?
