Current Events > Cool my student loan forgiveness was approved.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Too bad Republicans sued to block it from going through.

Fuck the Republican party.

Same. If only we could pace the blame on one party for all our problems, but same things both sides you know.

100000% the Republican's fault. They deserve all the blame.

Isn't it ironic that Republicans talk about values and shit but completely desecrate it? Republican party is NOT the people's party. Its ridiculous how people still follow such a hoax.

I wonder if republicans wouldve blocked it if it hadnt been so close to midterms.

Or Hillary Clinton's emails. They're acting less like a party for the government and more like one of those magazines like esquire.

Better. Regardless, Republicans want the poor to stay poor.

And the poor vote for them because they think it'll stop them from staying poor. Priceless.

It's not entirely wrong, but they're only going half-way.
This is the old FDR strategy of trying to mandate something he can't, then gaining the public momentum to force congress's hand on it anyway.

I mean, even Nancy Pelosi said it would have to go through congress.

Nope. Stopping the gays is more important than solving poverty.

Even I think blaming the guy for trying something good and getting blocked instead of the people blocking it is too much love the boot that's still stomping on you energy.

Who again blocked the debt cancelation? What's that, NOT Nancy Pelosi? So how does your post displace blame away from Republicans again?

maga judge blocked it. reason why TC isn't getting any relief.
no free rides they said.

If gay people exist, how will they go to heaven? you know? I love when someone is appalled because I don't believe in god and then say I'll go to hell. Why are religious people so invasive in other people's lives?

I thought the point of Christianity is to love all and to withhold judgement? Yet all the religious people I meet hate and are judgmental.

...and what's changed in the meantime to cause Pelosi to flip on it, other than the popular zeitgeist?

Bad policy for a good reason is still bad policy, even if we keep quiet about it.

What does Pelosi have anything to do with why it was blocked?

I know among your MAGA friends floating around her name gets you guys Ra Ra'd up in MAGA circles, but you need to actually produce something here.

Pelosi didn't blocked this, nor was she among the ones fighting it when Bedin dropped the announcement back in early/mid Fall.

Pelosi (that one time): "The president can't do this without congress"
Some judges (recently): "The president can't do this without congress"

seem to be a bit of a consensus here.

Meanwhile....
Congress: [doing nothing]

Pelosi has no power over the judge that blocked it.
Pelosi did not move to block or voice objection once Biden moved to cancel the debt.

I know among your MAGA friends floating around her name gets you guys Ra Ra'd up in MAGA circles, but you need to actually produce something here that's relevant.

Her name holds absolutely no relevance to Republicans who recently voiced objection, and a Trump appointed judge in Texas blocking it.

The president doesn't have the authority to do this.
"Pen and a phone" is not part of article 2, at all.

You are desperately clinging to something that holds no relevanc.

An article from over a year has nothing to do with Republicans in fall of 2022 actively moving to block the cancelation and openly complaining how "unfair" the forgiveness is.

Produce actually something of Pelosi doing the same right after Bidens fall announcement. Provide Pelosis obstruction to stop the forgiveness. Produce her actions and attempts to block Bidens announcement like Republicans actively done.

Or else, you're doing what Trumplicans do best, tossing our her name as the goto to ra ra your base.

14th amendment is also a reason why this isn't quite the right way to poof away student loans.

It'll be hilarious as hell if this goes to SCOTUS and comes back hosing everything means-based.

here you go:

From Secretary Cardona: Lawsuits are preventing the U.S. Department of Education from implementing its one-time student loan debt relief program; we are holding your approved application

[name here],

This email provides you with an update on the one-time Student Loan Debt Relief plan that President Biden and I announced on August 24th.

We reviewed your application and determined that you are eligible for loan relief under the Plan. We have sent this approval on to your loan servicer. You do not need to take any further action.

Unfortunately, a number of lawsuits have been filed challenging the program, which have blocked our ability to discharge your debt at present. We believe strongly that the lawsuits are meritless, and the Department of Justice has appealed on our behalf. Your application is complete and approved, and we will discharge your approved debt if and when we prevail in court. We will update you when there are new developments.

The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to helping borrowers as they recover from the pandemic.

Education is a great equalizer, and we will never stop fighting for you!

In Service,

Miguel A. Cardona

U.S. Secretary of Education

Although I am debt free, Americas economy is not ready for repayment in 2023 and this is just salt into the wounds.

I haven't gotten the e-mail and I did the beta test
