The court's order is something of a blow to the Biden administration, which had petitioned the court to allow the program to move forward while various legal challenges were considered in the lower courts. The loan forgiveness program includes up to $20,000 in loan relief for low- and middle-income borrowers.The challenge to the loan relief program was brought by a coalition of Republican-led states.
The coalition of states challenging the program — Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and South Carolina — argue primarily that the Department of Education does not have the right to cancel loans in these circumstances.
According to the government's briefs, current conditions affecting vulnerable borrowers include, among other things,"acute inflationary pressures on household budgets for 'basic necessities, including energy, food, and shelter costs.'" Those challenging the debt relief plan respond that the HEROES Act was intended to provide relief to borrowers, particularly military personnel, who have suffered economic hardship due to a war or national-security-related issue. Moreover, they say that they administration cannot directly connect the current economic conditions in the country to the COVID-19 pandemic, and therefore cannot connect the loan relief to a national emergency at all.
Bad news for thieves, deadbeats, and corrupt democrat politicians.
All I know is my student loan was the first thing I paid after graduating.I do think education should be free.
There are people who lost there jobs and are losing their homes. You should help them before you help young adults who have a lifetime to pay off their debt.
Good luck - you’re going to need it.
Interesting
Seems that the loan forgiveness is discriminatory because it gives to a narrow group of people. It separates the population into classes and puts a means test on the handout. In short, unless you’re going to give $10K to everyone, you can’t give it to student debt holders.

College education is going to be the new Highschool education as soon as the government steps in. Take a loan out pay it back!
Pay your own student loans!
Pay for their debt yourself Biden!
Millennial here 👋 I am in charge of paying off my school loans. I chose to go to college. I knew what I was getting into. It's my debt to pay back. I'm tired of seeing my generation ask for handouts. I guess I was raised different. What happened to accountability?
Honestly I’m more upset to hear they picked it up so early, just means we will have to resume payments and interest sooner. No way this corrupt conservative SCOTUS is gonna support helping SL borrowers.
They took the loan, let them pay it. Nobody is paying my debt
As they should, I paid my sons college with a lot of hard work and long hours. Why should the rest of us have to pay for others, let them work it off. Others wise we are creating a bunch of wines baby’s who can’t or won’t going anything to help themselves. Stop enabling.
Fuctards
Down vote
Nice shitty propaganda piece. It’s illegal, the courts have ruled it illegal. FakeNews
If you were interested in helping middle class families you would do a forgiveness program on mortgages and rents. That’s actually something that helps everyone. Not catering to rich families who’s kids go to elitist woke colleges.
Biden done this, just for the election. He knows that Congress can only do that. He knew that the Court, would shut it down. He knew that you 'educated' people would give them your vote. They had no intentions on forgiving your debt.🤡🤡😆
Everything is rigged wake up if you haven’t figured it out yet
Good I ain't paying for your nonbinary underwater basket weaving degree. You signed on the line, you pay. It's all scam anyway and you are a sucker...
I don't recall voting for debt forgiveness this f****** thing is illegal stop it
defundNPR
You lied knowing you could not pay for student loans without congressional approval, how about raising the pay for the military, how about the homeless vets? All you are doing is buying votes. Can’t wait til January when the GOP stops all this waste.
Nothing in the Constitution stating taxpayers should pay others student debts. Don’t waste the Supreme Courts time. Besides, House and Senate are currently majority democrat. How is it the Republicans fault?
Good. I’ve paid enough college loans for my own kids. I’m not paying someone else’s. You signed on the dotted line you pay for your own. Enough said 🤦♀️
Thank God! For the sake of the American people, and middle class, we hope the courts (rightly so) rule this as unconstitutional.
NPR = national propaganda radio. The socialist machine dispersing the koolaid to its loyal comrades LetsGoBrandon
is so far up JoeBiden's ass that he thinks it's a gerbil.
Tashenchen. I. Love. you. my. Baby. I. Like. you. Ever. by. meee
I wish he would stop this grift and stop sending billions to Ukraine and help our cities and struggling rural areas. There’s homeless everywhere…everywhere.
So meanwhile I keep making monthly payments.
Get all these rich people who illegally took millions of dollars of PPP loans and got them all 100% cancelled to give the money back!!!! That money could pay off student loans that had interest rates changed and tinkered with in other fraudulent ways!!!
Cuz npr is unbiased. Sureeeee
Why
Fix the problem! You’re giving away handouts to people that made a commitment. You’ve done 0 to fix the problem , it’s just going to keep happening. This is extremely stupid and unfair. Fix the problem make it right.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes!!!
The federal government shouldn’t be bailing out anyone for any reason.
But they won’t hear anything about the 2020 election?
Hey my Dad died the day before I went to college and my Mom had to support my brother. I worked and built a business to put myself not only college but law school. No loans no scholarships just hard work. Now my tax dollars are to pay to bail out others! You call that FAIR?
How can I sign up to pay extra so I can help pay off others loans?
Can't believe SCOTUS is entertaining this case!
SOMEBODY'S got to pay it back and it ain't gonna be me old man! You're passing the debt off to the American people who didn't borrow it! 🖕🖕🖕
Skepmi With the Fascist SCOTUS I wonder how this will come out ..
Great now you can blame your election stunt on the Supreme Court.
I worked during school part time. My parents paid for books & tuition. Biden owes MY FAMILY a refund if he thinks todays' students (some illegal) are more worthy. There were no scholarships except to straight A students. My parents' income barely put us out of any financial aid.
For more than 200 years, the U.S. Supreme Court was a court of judicial review. In less than a decade, it has been transformed into the policy-making arm of the Republican party.
It’s amazing how trump can call hotline 24/7 to SCOTUS break their necks getting to answer quick. If things has their way some want be there by February
Nope, wrong again
All I have to say is FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY? I am penalized for seeking a professional degree where I am underpaid and literally save lives.
'blocking its rollout until then' Newsflash: it'll most likely be blocked after that as well.
Plaintiff Alexander Taylor suing because it is arbitrary he is only eligible for $10k because his parents income prevented him from receiving Pell grants. Biden's executive order skipped legally required notice-and-comment procedure where he could have voiced his opinion
The states that always go Republican in the general election should have little to no role in the Dem primaries. Dems should want candidates who can win the swing states. If a really good candidate can win the swing states, that's good enough.
Good, because I paid for mine
The only question worth asking is why on earth are 9 of the most important and influential positions in the country given to someone indefinitely. There should 10000000% be term limits on Supreme Court justices. Whoever decided there shouldn’t be was a traitor.
That should win friends and influence people…
“I don’t think I have the authority to do it by signing with a pen.” Joe Biden Feb 2021. “People think the president of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness. ... But he does not have that power. That has to be an act of Congress.” Nancy Pelosi July 2021.
Biden has no balls. He had no problem in sending $120 Billion to Ukraine. There's always money for war.
Or just get a job and pay your bills like everyone else..
Good. This latest taxpayer money for votes scheme is unconstitutional, and will be ruled as such.
This was a ploy for the youth vote. Adults know you cannot use tax dollars to pay public debt. You got coned, again.
Biden could use the Higher Education Act and cancel it all today
Only Congress can appropriate the funds to forgive that debt - not the Pres.
Good.
It’s illegal
How about lowering the cost of college? Does that ever occur to anyone?
Wouldn’t it be great if Biden actually argued in front of the SC?
Buy those votes clown.
Extend the pause 6 mo at a time, and then cancelation, even better
Does Biden have the power to enact such a law? I thought money had to be dealt with through legislation that gets disperse or exonerated.
Ahem
What part of illegal did you not understand?
Booooooooooo
Unforgivable.Corrupt bought & paid for SCOTUS!! If it had been a case for Tom Brady & how he stole PPP money & had his loan forgiveness immediately,no problem.They would have been right on it agreeing with Brady & loan forgiveness. Betsy DeVoss too. She also stole PPP money.
Why are we fighting over this bullshit? We already pay for our kids to go to school, Why not make/start a law. Where if Any child want to go to college, then we should provide college if a child want to go after graduation. I’ll rather my taxes pay for that, then this.
The roadblock is you Mr Biden. You are not a king and have no authority to do this. How about having George Soros pick up this tab or maybe the Democratic Party if you really care about we little people
Well let's block all foreign aid until its completed. Except for Ukraine,
pay your own way simple as that ! you borrowed it got useless degrees it's not free money passed on to working class how is that fair ? how about the ones that paid is it fair to them no.we are taxed enough we don't need this added to us PAY YOUR OWN SHIT!!!
I have 10k in credit card debt and 250k in a home loan. When can Joey pay those 2 loans off for me……. I’ll definitely put that money to good use…..all while not working 40 hours a week
6-3
It will never pass and Biden new that from the start! It was a broken promise bribe that he did to get votes!
Their argument: It’s not fair! 🙄
Pay up deadbeats!
Quit whining about debt from college or tech school just get a job and pay what you owe. This special treatment for what will be mostly millennials is a waste of tax dollars to bail out a whole generation that can't do math and budget properly.
Drop this court case now. Democrats still have majority in House and Senate. They can pass this through legislation if they act immediately. Waive student loans now.
It is obvious: If congress approves it, then it is legal. However, the president should NOT have the ability to spend 1/2 trillion dollars without the consent of Congress. That is a thing only dictators do. We have Congress for a reason.
POTUS trying to work around the Constitution. YOU DON’T HAVE THIS AUTHORITY/POWER. You lied to the college kids like you lied to the railroad workers and the oil workers and everyone else you’ve come into contact with over 40+ years. Repent Judgement is coming!!
Here we go again 🤦🏽♂️ Sounds like it's a 'No Go'.
Used to be a fan. Stopped watching/listening about 5 years ago.
Since Potus wants to forgive up to $20,000 in student debt, how about an exhibit of all the many, many thousands of forgiven PPP loans?
So the government is going to Force those businesses that granted loans to the students to erase them The ONLY loans the president can forgive are FEDERAL Loans.
Student loan forgiveness wouldn't impact anyone on the SCOTUS like a fat tax break would.
Isn't a 500 billion dollar payment supose to go through Congress?
Judges one is appointed by Democrat other is by Republican no excuses
They always do this… both sides! That why we get 5 steps ahead and 10 steps backwards! We need to help Americans!! These fights just give you all excuses to ship our money wherever you are shipping it!
Nice
They better allow it to go through. They work for US and should do what they need to help average American citizens.
'They need' What they need is a damn job and to learn about responsibility.
I hope Biden wins!
Oh, but no problem with giving millionaires, billionaires, & corporations making obscene profits tax breaks & credits. It’s Disgusting. republicans haven’t proposed anything in decades to help average Americans. They’re only concerned with helping their rich donors get richer.
Jesus Christ! Can we take every issue of taxpayer dollar use we don’t like to the SC! Are they going to investigate the PPP loan scandal as well So over this shit!
sarahsdb They owe us one.
I love how the supreme court has a say in government overreach when people might get money but when the gov sold our student loans without our permission at a higher interest rate no court was there to stop that!
He has No argument like Pelsoi said last year! It's a waste of $ if ppl don't understand how the constitution works!
Lol if you think this Supreme Court will let Biden usurp the power of spending from Congress.
I question your credibility as a news organization. This was blantant disregard to public information that you withheld. What’s sad, is you knew it wasn’t fake.
They should extend the moratorium until 3023.
I think I overheard them say: ‘End Scene’
Save time and just tell Biden now it is an item that must be approved by the house and senate.
Interesting. On one hand, they can uphold executive power in a state of emergency and stay the order, or 'own the libs' and overturn. In the long-run, I think it makes more sense to limit executive power, but that would make DC even more powerless with more partisan obstruction.
They want you indentured, for your education and ability to have a job, for your health, they would lease you your Rights if they were not already enshrined. Enshrine more Rights.
Such BS filing & BS keeping this tied up
Students have to wait! How repulsive the judges can’t put a rush on it. studentloanforgiveness Keep in mind students will become voters - never forget.
It’s quite simple, Biden needs to remove the income cap and have an equal amount cancelled. The lawsuit would be thrown out. That would require Biden to do it how he should have in the first place though.
man, eff the supreme court
Maybe if people didn’t get useless degrees, like Art History or Gender Studies…they could afford to pay off the loan they agreed to pay in the first place.
The Supreme Court only holds for Republicans. It isn't a Court, it is a bizarre and corrupt religious commission.
yeah much like the rent moratorium they are gonna find this illegal.
