Two conservative groups are asking a federal court to block the Biden administration’s plan to cancel $39 billion in student loans for more than 800,000 borrowers.
The Education Department called the suit “a desperate attempt from right wing special interests to keep hundreds of thousands of borrowers in debt.”
“We are not going to back down or give an inch when it comes to defending working families,” the department said in a statement.
Conservatives decide to use the court system to fuck over people in need? What a shocker!
These “shocker!” or “I’m sooo surprised!” statements are self indulgent and actually kill the inspiration to fight back in some who read along. They don’t serve a purpose beyond you personally having something to say for the sake of it.
Use that energy for a comment with some substance next time. Maybe you find and link some examples of your premise? Or promote the simple act of registering to vote so that we can get more progressive minded people in offices with mandates to do things like apply enforceable ethical standards to the Supreme Court.
Woah, it’s almost like we have laws in this country, that’s insane!
At some point you have to wonder how does this benefit conservatives at all? On the contrary, forgiving student debt would free up the income of several people in their districts to spend money and stimulate the economy. From a church’s perspective, any money that isn’t being spent on repayment is potentially money being dumped into their collection plates. And for all those conservative people who want liberals/queer people/racial minorities to move away from them, they would certainly have more money to do so. Even to the most die hard conservative, I don’t see how this isn’t an absolute win?
If loan forgiveness goes though its a major win for the Democrats and they cant have that. If republicans block it, then the peasants among us can claim that Democrats were never serious about it and both parties are the same.
Because conservatives don’t represent people they represent Wall Street
It helps people, and for conservatives the cruelty is the point.
Nah, they feed their base hate but that’s their playbook and not the point.
Power and money are the point and poor people are easier to exploit. Everything they’re doing, even abortion, is about keeping the cycle of poverty going.
Poor, vulnerable people are easier for the capitalist class to exploit for lower wages.
Because their base has the idea that it if doesn’t benefit them personally, we shouldn’t do it. If they don’t get “free money” too, then they missed out. How dare we correct a mistake of outrageously high college loans without just giving money to those who didn’t go to college or were able to pay it off? That’s not fair.
I know one generation in particular who is going to be pissed about this…
The one who was able to afford a year of college after working a single part-time job over the summer?
The GOP/Nazi party is sickening to watch in their cruelty.
