President Biden’s Student Debt Relief Program On Pause



22 million Americans who already applied for student debt relief are in limbo after an appeals court temporarily froze President Biden’s signature program. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit granted a stay preventing the government from moving forward with the debt cancellation it had said could start as early as next week. The appeal filed by six Republican-led states after a district court judge dismissed their case on Thursday for lack of standing. The White House insists it’s full speed ahead, urging borrowers to keep applying at studentaid.gov while the court battles continue.

  1. Having a college education should mean you're smart enough to figure out a democrat political vote-harvesting farce when you see it!

  2. If you thought for two seconds the democrats really intended on paying your tuition you wasted whatever education you're going to be paying for decades from now.
    It was another F'ING political ploy to get you to vote for them of course. Haven't you figured this out yet??? How many times do you have to be duped before you actually get this?

    The democrats, as one of their ploys, toss out some ludicrous giveaway that they know full well will bring outrage from republicans and eventually be struck down in court. THEN, without paying a single dime, which they never intended on doing in the first place, they cry and whine to you about how the "big bad republicans are the party of no!!!".

    All of this is simply a game they play on you every two to four years. After they get your vote they couldn't care less about your bank accounts, your mortgage, your family …. they think you're a stupid wad of voting cattle, and the way you're all acting I'd say they're right!

  3. Tsk tsk shame vote buying got turned down.

  4. Joe… the MENTALLY UNFIT TYRANT, THWARTED AGAIN, by that ANNOYING Constitution

  5. This is just gonna end with “Yeah psyche, turns out we’re not doing it.”

    And Biden loses the youth vote.

  6. Well that was a nice couple weeks of good feelings for my girlfriend! 😂

    What a liar!!!

  7. Hopefully this crap policy will not stand. Hey sleepy Joe cancel my mortgage. Worthless dinosaur.

  8. Losers debt now the American taxpayers problem.

  9. Who pays…..YOU DO!

    Biden’s reckless spending, recession, inflation, crime, attack on our energy sector, and surrender of our southern border.

    Inflation and fuel at a 40 year high. Never underestimate Biden’s ability to F things up!!!

  10. The whole system is about to change!!!!

  11. If you would rather see the Republicans in Congress get their student loans completely forgiven, but not even get a portion of your loans forgiven then vote for Republicans. If you would rather see the very rich get tax breaks and remove Social programs for you then vote Republican, but if you care about the needs of the many vote Democratic up and down the ballot.

  12. How come I had to pay all my studen loan off?

  13. “Mister Biden”? Interesting.

  14. What did Pelosi say about Biden ability to cancel studernt loans? “The president can’t do it,” Pelosi said, at a press briefing. “That’s not even a discussion.”

  15. White @$$holes at it again. They can live the good life, but the rest of us can’t???

  16. It’s crazy how the government has money for Ukraine and money for the big company’s bail outs but never when it comes to the lil ppl.

  17. The lying Biden crime family has sold you out to the world's highest bidders. Justice will not be served until Democrats lose power. Vote them out on 11/8. https://youtu.be/HiAtFc9eFLo

  18. Biden PROMISED to ELIMINATE PREDATORY Student Loans! He lies once again using this con. Biden knows 40K+ of SL interest on only 20K of loans is what lines his and his billionaire buddies pockets. Odd how he FORGAVE MILLIONS of dollars of his billionaire political buddies PPP LOANS but can’t keep his PROMISE to working Americans.

  19. This is not what he promised! Why does no one call him out for his cons and lies?

  20. I can't take all this misery anymore. It's very funny to me but very annoying. the worst thing about being Immortal is never being able to end ur misery. I understand if u don't believe me. why would ya 🎭🤡

  21. Well thank God that court has some sense!

  22. Get a job and pay your loan off like I'm doing now myself self-reliance they couldn't pay me to take taxpayers money the government's offering like a cow tit I'm not going to drink from the government's tit

  23. They need to pay for what they signed up for. No free lunches.

  24. Well of course not. We cannot have taxpayer money going to the poor.. Only the rich are allowed

  25. They are pausing the bank bail outs?

    Can they also cancel credit card debt, auto loans and mortgages too please.

    Here’s a concept, place regulations on student loans like they did for auto loans where they cap the rate. Years ago if a finance manager could hold 9 points in rate they would and today the max is 3 so even if you qualify for 2% they can sell the loan to you at 5% and if we really want to help Americans let’s look at home loans.

    Taking a typical home loan of 650k to term meaning all payments paid it will cost you 1.2 million for that home.

    The only people making money are the banks. They are robbing everyone blind then loaning your money to others and getting uncapped rate of return while most people get less than 1% return on savings that is being loaned out to other people.

  26. i also really hate how they use the term "forgiveness" in this context. it's so messianic and creepy, as if biden is baptizing people in the jordan river and forgiving their sins

  27. "Joe Biden violates the US Constitution and jeopardizes democracy." Title fixed.

  28. Get a vaccine for free 😁

  29. Ukraine get more money 🤡🤡🤡🤡

  30. They need the money for Ukraine 😂😂😂😂

  31. you have leftwing idiots that got degrees in yoga and homosexual studies, are unemployable and the tax payer is supposed to pay off their student loans. The D-rats are so corrupt and despicable that they need to buy votes since their policies are a total failure

  32. I remember Male & Female genders. I remember affordable Gas & Groceries. I remember Peace & Freedom. I remember when we elected our Presidents.
    I remember Trump! 🇺🇸

  33. CANCEL the Relief Program, us taxpayers shouldn't be responsible for other people's debts

  34. 46k!!!!! 👀 Nahhh have that B*tch pay that 💀

  35. No Votes for sleepy Joe.

  36. Poor baby has 46k in debt. Wants working Americans to bail her out. What ever will she do when she buys a car or house..

  37. *Resident but thanks they even said Mr. Biden… it's tough to keep up with the Tre@son.

  38. simple solution. make student loans illegal on degrees that don't guarantee a job that pays for them. problem solved.

  39. Haw haw. I bet those people who attended that church student loans where forgiven. Remember. The first group of people he gave the hand out too

  40. It's a debt transfer program.

  41. There democrats, they went to college because it was cool, they didn't learn anything and can't get jobs and tax payers have to pay for there stupidity!!!!!! No!!!

  42. Cancel cancer patients medical debt first. That would be a nice way of showing good will toward people that really deserve it.

  43. This program is so profoundly unfair and illegal! This is literally stealing money from me, who paid his student loans and giving it to people who will vote for Democrats. There should be jail time for such blatant use of taxpayer money to buy votes. Where does this end? Do the Republicans then offer to "Forgive" all home loans to buy an election? This will become a race to bankrupt the U.S.

  44. Y’all already got stimulus money which of course was eaten by inflation. Just become independent and make better choices that exclude dependence on government.

  45. I shouldn’t have to pay for others to go to college. You cannot make people do things with their money they worked hard for. People need to go to work and cleanup their own mess.
