Six Republican-led states are suing the Biden administration in an effort to halt its plan to forgive student loan debt for tens of millions of Americans, accusing it of overstepping its executive powers.
"It's patently unfair to saddle hard-working Americans with the loan debt of those who chose to go to college," Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge, who is leading the group, said in an interview. The administration also said it would extend the current pause on federal student loan repayments — put on hold near the start of the pandemic more than two years ago — once more through the end of the year.
In their lawsuit, the Republican attorneys general also contend that the forgiveness program violates the Administrative Procedures Act, which lays out how federal agencies should make regulations in order to ensure executive branch policies are well-reasoned and explained.
They will do anything to keep people poor and stupid.
Hey RogerWilliamsTX how is your ppp loan that was forgiven? Hypocrite are we?
I had 80k student loan debt discharged under trump. And it wasn’t counted as taxable income.
Why? That student loan situation was to back up the loss from the taxes that large Corporations didn’t have to pay. This debt is obscene. So only rich people r to be educated? The rest have to pay pay pay.
Biden lies to the American people because he lacks the authority to forgive non-government student loans. It was all a scheme to trick unsuspecting voters. OMG!
GOP = Hate
I hope that they will include their citizens right to VOTE in their suit and disallow the January 6th insurrectionist.
Wow, lawyers have never been so happy.
Just throat out of court. It’A Republican ploy to take the attention off of them.
I guess it's OK to forgive student loans in the other 44 states .
If Trump didn’t preside over $8 Trillion increase in the National Debt maybe they could get some respect and be listened to.
GOP- “We want to squelch education bc if they actually understand what we’re doing, we’re cooked’”
Good, let them reveal themselves to the voters
