Biden’s attempt to make low income taxpayers pay off the student loan debts of wealthy people has once again been blocked by the courts. Republican-led states moved again to prevent the Biden administration from going forward with $73 billion in student loan forgiveness, getting a Missouri federal court judge to issue a preliminary injunction. That came after a federal judge in Georgia let a temporary restraining order on the matter expire there and moved the case to Missouri.
In granting the preliminary injunction, District Court Judge Matthew Schelp wrote that the states that filed the lawsuit would likely succeed in showing that the planned loan forgiveness was unlawful, “like every court reviewing the previous plans to unilaterally erase it.”
The Biden administration has been trying to buy votes since 2022. That effort was declared unlawful by the Supreme Court after the 2022 elections. Even Nancy Pelosi said that Biden did not have the authority to do what he wanted to do. However, it undoubtedly earned the Democrats some votes in the mid-term elections.
“This is yet another win for the American people,” the Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey told Barron’s in a statement. “The Court rightfully recognized Joe Biden and Kamala Harris cannot saddle working Americans with Ivy League debt. We will never stop fighting for the rule of law and fairness for all.”
Why should waiters and waitresses pay for someone else’s Ivy League education? There are wealthy families who can afford to pay the tuition who have taken out these loans because they expect the loans to be forgiven. The Biden administration is once again catering to the wealthy people who support the Democratic Party.
The administration is doing this while everyday Americans are being ignored in the hills of Appalachia after the devastation of Hurricane Helene. When has this administration ever put everyday Americans first?
