Father Biden, does not have the ultimate authority to forgive student. That would have to be approved by Congress. Even Nancy pelosi said the president does not have that right to forgive student. That old rotting corpse in the white house needs to go.
We have unlimited money to help Ukraine, and Trillions to SUPPORT 3 million needy, poor, uneducated illegal aliens, & yet we cannot help our own young people ????? This country is a total mess!
Can we get some of mortgage forgiveness for hard working over taxed Americans.
Just like taking out a car loan, a mortgage, or any kind of loan. YOU SIGN THE PAPERS, YOU PAY THE DEBT! A person who has the presidential title needs to stop thinking he can take on the debt problem of his whinning fellow dems. Especially when he thinks the govt money is his own personal bank account. He worries about sending money to Ukraine instead of helping what's going on in this country!!!
The entire university system is an outdated relic from the medieval ages and needs to be scrapped entirely. It's nothing but a money laundering scheme for lazy professors and administrators at this point. You can go to Youtube and watch MIT classes for free. We have this thing called the internet now, where you can learn from the best and brightest humanity has to offer for little to no money. Hell, we're reaching the point where we an AI can be built to teach people (facts don't change and are easily programmed). Why are people still paying $50-$100K per year for something that is freely available other than getting a worthless piece of paper at the end of it?
I'm sorry all of you dullards saddled with debt were sold a bill of goods by the teacher's unions and the government. Instead of pushing that mistake on your neighbors who had nothing to do with it, perhaps you should be looking at the people who took your money for very little in return.
subsidies for cooperations Ok but subsidies for individuals bad …I don't get it. Individuals should get back their money whenever they can to help out individual tax payers. If you didn't get a student loan well maybe next time it will work in your favor. When a cooperation gets a subsidy I don't say where's mine.
Twenty years of US Taxpayer's monies to Afghanistan totaled +$2 Trillion US Dollars Assets and Blood.
Money has no morals yet holds value. I think Big Bank needs to be significantly significantly regulated. Paper changers of other folks ' cash should be making minimum wage, accounting is simple math not a real skill. With computers and Ai progressing these folks should've been laid off en masse before the tech industry! Remember when we gave them 700 billion USD after their terrible loans destroyed the housing market? Knock these people down a peg I say. Most of us could use it now and then. I know I'm a piece of work. Yeah, kids need to make better decisions too. Not that all of these loans were written to eighteen year olds. The medical or scientific communities, maybe it's govt, but THEY say our brains are still maturing, hence no smoking or drinking until 21. Maybe we should apply this logic to voting, joining military and signing contracts? Why we don't have Affordable education, Affordable housing nor Affordable medical care in the wealthiest nation on the planet is beyond me. But we are the most jailed (for profit)!
Govt needs to get out of the business of issuing these loans. Universities should issue their own loans. Maybe then they wouldn’t lower entry standards, think twice about what is required for a degree, and actually care about whether their students find employment.
Instead, they are building country clubs around football stadiums, protecting huge endowments, and paying no taxes.
I'm bringing up a bill called Home Mortgage Dept Bailout.
The funny part is that you'll have situations where postal workers, truck drivers and construction workers will be effectively paying off the student loans of their bosses! Lol! So much for Biden helping the common man
Come on, cancel my loan already😢 it takes too long😢
I am all for charging low interest rate on student loans, allowing student loans to be filed for bankruptcy. But not for forgiving them without fixing the underlining issue. College and universities are massive corporations that charge high cost for mediocre education.
Let's be honest, responsible, and fair to all Americans about this issue of Student Loans:
Realistically, with the BILLIONS of $$$ that Colleges/Universities have amassed, tax-free, as ENDOWMENTS and GRANTS, these Colleges, and Universities should step up and bear responsibility for this debt…not the hard-working American taxpayer.
After all, these institutions SOLD these students a bill of goods with some worthless majors/programs…just to keep their faculty "Well Paid" and employed.
Why should the hard-working, American taxpayers be responsible for the debts of these students due to "POOR" decision-making?
I am sure these students, while still in High School, were advised, WELL IN ADVANCE, by Guidance Counselors, social workers, faculty, and parents that some of these unproductive career choices, would not provide them the ability to become independent and earn a living salary…in the real world. We have free will to make our own choices…and take responsibility for our actions.
#1. Please tell 2023 SCOTUS :.
President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as the nation approached its third year of bloody civil war. The proclamation declared "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free."
so what does it mean to
be free?
The U.S. Constitution requires the government to respect—and courts to protect—the human right to reproductive autonomy. The 14th Amendment ensures this through its multiple and interdependent guarantees of life, liberty, and equal protection—as does international human rights law.

Or the MEDIA
NEEDS TO TELL AMERICANS
WHAT HAPPENED …

Why did Chief Justice Roberts disagree with overturning Roe v Wade?

Washington D.C., Jun 25, 2022 / 17:04 pm
The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade — a case that legalized abortion nationwide in 1973 — in a decision Friday that fell largely along justices’ ideological lines. One justice, Chief Justice John Roberts, strayed from the pack, as he frequently does.
A majority of the nine Supreme Court justices overruled Roe and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which reaffirmed Roe in 1992, while deciding June 24 the Mississippi abortion case Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
The court voted 6-3 to uphold a Mississippi law restricting most abortions after 15 weeks. At the same time, justices voted by a narrower margin, 5-4, to overturn Roe.
That’s because of Roberts.
Roberts stands out because justices appointed by Republican presidents — Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett — are generally considered more conservative-leaning. Likewise, Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan, who were nominated by Democratic presidents, tend to lean liberal.
With the Dobbs case, Alito wrote the opinion of the court — or the opinion that a majority of the justices agreed to or joined. Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan dissented from the majority.
Roberts took a unique position: He filed an opinion concurring in the judgement, meaning he agreed with the majority’s ruling, but not necessarily their rationale or reasoning.
Roberts’ reasoning
In his 12-page opinion in the Dobbs case, Roberts said that he agreed with upholding Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban, but he disagreed that Roe and Casey needed to be overturned in the process.
“The Court’s decision to overrule Roe and Casey is a serious jolt to the legal system—regardless of how you view those cases,” he wrote. “A narrower decision rejecting the misguided viability line would be markedly less unsettling, and nothing more is needed to decide this case.”
As a case, Dobbs centered on the question, “Whether all pre-viability prohibitions on elective abortions are unconstitutional.”
Roberts took the position that this question could be answered without overturning Roe. In Roe, the court ruled that states could not ban abortion before viability, which the court determined to be 24 to 28 weeks into pregnancy. Then, with Casey, the court said that states could not enforce an “undue burden,” defined by the court as “a substantial obstacle in the path of a woman seeking an abortion of a nonviable fetus.”
Roberts said that he agreed with discarding parts of Roe and Casey, particularly the “viability line,” in favor of a new standard.
“That line never made any sense,” Roberts said. Instead, he said, a woman’s “right” to abortion should “extend far enough to ensure a reasonable opportunity to choose.”
In other words, instead of determining abortion based on when an unborn baby can survive outside the womb, Roberts argued that it should be based on whether a woman has enough time to obtain an abortion after realizing that she is pregnant.
“The law at issue allows abortions up through fifteen weeks, providing an adequate opportunity to exercise the right Roe protects,” Roberts wrote, adding at another point that “there is nothing inherent in the right to choose that requires it to extend to viability or any other point, so long as a real choice is provided.”
While doing away with the viability standard, the court could have still recognized a woman’s “right” to abortion with Roe, he claimed.

CHIEF JUSTICE
Why should taxpayers pay their student loans? I worked a full time job and went to college. This has to be the laziest generation in history. They always want a handout.
If the pandemic emergency is the thing that gives Biden the authority to do this, and the emergency ends in may before a decision is reached in June, then how is it going to be upheld? His powers will expire before they can even decide whether or not they apply to the situation.
If they allow the student loans to be erased, he is just going along with the problem that the kids have now they will have no responsibility to do anything except ask for everything for free but it’s not really free. Somebody else has to pay somewhere down the line, this is a terrible terrible thing to do, we already given trophies for being bad at something that is called participation wars
Taking money, spending it, and not paying it back is the definition of a DEADBEAT. All these deadbeats should have their credit rating permanently set to zero.
Hope they do the right thing & bury this vote buying B.S.
The Supreme Court justices examined the forgiveness/ relief representatives from the perspective of why the relief couldn't take place. #CNN #MSNBC #SCOTUS
What a joke! These are YOUR loans, you are responsible for them, not me, not your neighbors. Biden does not have this power anyway. Your problem period.
Pay your own way dont put your bills on tax payers back Lets Go Brandon!
Join the military real easy
Go by Dave Ramsey's teaching and debt wouldn't happen to begin with.
Biden wants students to know that there aren't consequences to financial choices
Just like the $31.5 TRILLION that he doesn't want to face
as long as this doesn't turn into fake woke socialism.
Can anyone explain why any student should have their debt paid by taxpayers?
We already know that Justices Thomas, Barrett and Kavanaugh will vote against student loan forgiveness/assistance. Thomas makes his mind up about cases before they are discussed. The real issue is predatory loans by banks, giving 18 year olds $50,000 + college loans who have no concept how much money that is and how long it will take them to pay back the money. The debt goes on for decades.
let's give 33 billion to Ukraine immediately but god forbid we give even a portion of that to Americans
Stop voting for these Republicans. When are you going to learn?
If you think the politics or people pushing for this will help with the relief guess who is paying for it WE THE TAXPAYERS ARE
Why would you take a loan out and think you do not have to pay it back ? There are ways to get higher education with out taking a loan . It is called working .
Student loans have been a scam since inception. The federal government bailed out Wall Street in 2008, they can help the middle class out now by forgiving these predatory loans. A human's brain isn't even fully developed until about 25 years of age. Yet, these 17 year olds are signing away their lives into modern day slavery unknowingly. It's an absolute scam. They forgave PPP loans, they can absolutely forgive student loan debt. Maybe we should tax the billionaires, audit the Pentagon that has TRILLIONS unaccounted for, or stop giving hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine. Sadly, we live in a plutocracy and legislation is determined no longer by 'We the People' but, instead, by the ultra wealthy campaign donors to our corrupt politicians.
No debt forgiveness unless they first pay every parent back who paid for their kids college by WORKING and paying it off over many years. These type of GIVEAWAYS support the lazy and least intelligent.
