  The president is free to kill his opponents, but he can’t forgive debt? Your corruption is showing Supreme Court.

    The president is free to kill his opponents, but he can’t forgive debt? Your corruption is showing Supreme Court.

    So Biden could just dismiss the debt and say it was an official act. To be clear, he simply lacks the will.

      The Supreme Court gets to decide what is an official act. And he can’t dismiss supreme court’s justices… however…

      Unsurprising since he almost single-handedly caused the student loan crisis when he took a gigantic payout from MBNA to pen the bankruptcy protection act of 2008. This legislation prevented student loans from being disbursed in bankruptcy.

      I’ll say it again:

      I hope Joe Biden burns in hell for subjecting all future generations to indentured servitude in the form of exploitative student loans with astronomical interest rates and inescapable bankruptcy clauses.

      That is exactly what he should do. Then dismiss any Justice who disagrees with him as an official act as well.

      The ruling was that the president is immune from criminal punishment over offical acts not that the president can pass any laws they want.

      Exactly.

      He’s already unilaterally cancelled bits of student debt for several categories of people.

      The SCOTUS is just giving him cover.

  Ths SCOTUS is a corrupt MAGA outfit. Is anyone surprised?

  That’s the justices who killed Roe v. Wade we’re talking about, remember.

    It’s far worse than that. If one side were the clear bad guys, we could simply vote them out. But particularly on this issue, MAGA is no different than Blue MAGA. They’re all lying douchebags. The only difference is that the Dems can pretend they’re helping you because most people don’t understand the means-testing legalese they attach to every “handout” they implement.

    Bloomberg: “Under my governership, there were less uninsured people than at any time in New York’s history” (while intentionally failing to mention the strict penalties he put in place for being uninsured, coupled with making the criteria to qualify for state-assisted healthcare income FAR below any realistic poverty line).

  So, story time.

  I graduated in spring 2022 and was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia.

  I have been struggling trying to get jobs, having my life blow up, and losing those jobs. I have genuinely been struggling with life in general and have had a deep pervasive depression throughout all of it.

  That lead me to ignoring my student loans and the SAVE program entirely.

  The real fucked up thing?

  I’m in a better position because I never signed up for the plan. I’ve heard from the non-profit I turned to to help me figure out a deferral (cancer deferral is my best bet) that a lot of people who signed up for the SAVE Plan now have their loans in forbearance.

  So being chronically depressed and missing the boat actually helped me not get fucked even harder by conservative ratfuckery.

  Absolute fucking disgrace shit. Honestly, that includes Biden because he should have been smart enough to see this fucking happening. This shit is literally ruining people’s lives and financial futures.

    Biden fucked you so much more than your realize. He was THE person that wrote the legislation in 2008 which made student loans impossible to disburse in bankruptcy.

    I mean you can just not pay… It will just tank your credit.

    • Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Missing the point. If a few people independently decide not to pay that doesn’t really send much of a message.
