So it’s the colleges taking Advantage of the fact that students are backed by money. So they’re the ones that suck.

Are you saying service members never chose to serve?

​@@mcdan7558 I think that you've totally missed their point. I believe what they are saying is that these young adults that have contributed nothing to society are expecting the same benefits as someone that has sacrificed years of their life for their country. Now do you understand?

What about those students who had a higher calling to actively participate in Antifa and BLM "peaceful" protests? They deserve relief, however monetary relief is not what they need. They need a one way voyage to outer space.

Govmnt controls the money, so they CAN pick winners and losers. and they do. the guy ho paid his loan is a loser, as is the guy who didn't take a loan If your parents paid for college, that's money gone from your inheritance. Everyone who doesn't get compensation equal to that given to borrowers, is being cheated.

Yet you most likely vote Republican to provide tax breaks to corporations where most pay zero tax cuts. Why are you against ordinary middle class payers economic relief. Indeed, you vote for regressive tax structures so that middle class pays more of a percentage of their income than billionaires pay?

Hmm - have you ever refinanced a mortgage to get a lower rate? Or maybe got a loan to pay off high interest debt? You can’t refinance consolidated student loans. Should you be stuck with the interest rate that you originally agreed to for these instruments? After all that’s what you promised to pay

@@chrisglosser7318 You can refinance consolidated student loans. Private lends will refinance consolidated student loans.

If anything, these borrowers should be able to delay their payments till the emergency is over (which it is now) or be forgiven of the debt/payments that were due during the emergency (which would be hundreds of dollars or a few thousand at worst). But not the whole debt. Surely 5 years from now (however long their loan terms are) they aren’t still effected by the pandemic to the point that they simply can’t make their payments.

Lucky you, many middle class and poor Americans are still struggling with debt after the pandemic. I think that middle class and poor Americans who want to get a degree should be encouraged and supported. Make college education more affordable for all.

She is the same one that argued for forced vaccinations also, so I agree that she should be disbarred.

Agree 100%. But I think it's Congress who needs to take a lesson here. Under our Constitution, Congress is supposed to act as a check on the abuse of the President's power. By passing a statute that was so broadly worded, it completely abandoned its duty to act as a check on the President. Indeed, Congress gave virtually unfettered authority to the Education Secretary, a member of the President's cabinet, and the President proceeded to abuse the hell out of it.

Exactly re modify the load and drop the rates some, not write it off for us to pay in high taxes later.

waive /wāv/ verb refrain from insisting on or using (a right or claim). "he will waive all rights to the money" Similar: relinquish renounce

So we can spend money to literally nuke another country and build up other countries, bailout banks, and politicians taking money under the table. I rather the Supreme Court just say we are screwed. I mean they are just circling an issue that should not have been issue regardless if you have a loan or not. It does not matter if you are Democratic or Republican they are all in it for themselves.

@@lukedaniell That isn't how the checks work, though. Vague language doesn't give a carte blanche check to ignore basic Constitutionality. You don't get to ignore your Constitutional authority just because of a vague statute.

Yes, common sense. Most of the people defaulting didn't finish and bought cars vacations beer and drugs.

Government should just get off peoples business and govern,not dictate or dictatorship. Let people solve their personal problems personally , stop bailing lazy people out of their responsibility! You borrowed money ,you pay it and stop whining!

Better, colleges should hold the loan note and suffer the default if the student can't make the payments because the degree is useless and in addition colleges should be required to post the average starting pay for each major in the student finance office.

@@unbreakable7633 Colleges should be required to post the average starting pay for each major in the registrars office. You should know what you can expect before you even start enrolling in classes much less while getting funding for the classes you enrolled in. That way they will be incentivized to make better choices right after they walk in the door.

@@rosaravello4275 I agree with you.

Kids need to go community for two years - screw these bloated, woke nonsense universities...

No relief period. Nobody held a gun to these borrowers' heads to take these loans. Not my responsibility to pay off their loans.

I say we cut government funding of public schools and even private schools accessing federal funds for grants until cut out the deadweight administration costs like DEI staff and such until they make school affordable again. The number of degrees that actually pay themselves off without hardship at this point is very small. The schools need to find price savings or be cut off from federal and state money.

The major reason universities are 'price gouging' is due to federal government backed and directly issued student loans. Colleges and universities see that as a no lose incentive to continually increase the cost of 'higher education' and granting degrees in useless fluff fields that give the student no marketable skills, but are easy to pass with minimal effort. Government should have zero involvement in financing higher education.

@@JM-lk6wo Barack did that!

Not going to lie, I will benefit from this "relief" but I would never vote for Biden.

But, when corporations get Corporate Welfare Subsidies and tax breaks (All at the tax payers expense), it's much needed, but when American's get any economic relief, then, it's Socialism and unaffordable.

@@Chulitatr PPP was a massive scam that transferred wealth to business owners, change my mind. Two wrongs don't make a right essentially.

One of those reasons seems to benefit one group of people over another. (And buy votes in the process). So it just isn't fair.

@@Michael-uc2pn And they should have to pay it back.

Me, when impact payments were announced: "Ghee, think I'll put that towards my house goal." Me, when I was told they are meant to be spent: "Well, that is true. This is really for the economy, and saving it might injure it more. Can't make this effort be completely counter productive. We all know it's going to cause inflation." Me, now, as housing prices soar, and some no-named company buys all the foreclosures in my area, effectively shutting me out of the market for this city: "F*** THE GOVERNMENT...THEY WOULDNT KNOW HOW TO MANAGE THEIR OWN BACKSIDE WITHOUT 'HELP', MUCH LESS, THE PEOPLE'S FINANCES"

That’s exactly what the leftists are trying to create by allowing them to avoid their fiscal responsibilities….more Democrat voters.

I'm one of those responsible adults and I am for this student relief.

That's the plan, make the government the sole means through which to live life.

@@mcdan7558 Do you realize you are making your college degree worth less? The more people that get degrees for free the less value yours has.

It’s not that simple … Spoiled brats ? If you are that spoiled you wouldn’t have to borrow money for college. You’re parents would pay for it outright. It’s not just 18 year olds with college debt, it’s people of all ages.

​@@bradyhack2428 -- Spoiled is not an accurate term. A more accurate term would be someone that is having issues with something professionally referred to as "Learned Helplessness." This is when someone becomes so use to being rescued that they begin to depend on it. Eventually when the rescuers get tired of rescuing and holds back the learned helplessness individual develops something referred to as an "External Locus of Control." This is where the individual blames their mistakes on everyone else besides themselves. For example these behaviors can often be found with drug addicts and alcoholics. Do you understand the difference?

So would that mean I can get upset over anything I paid more for when it goes on sale the next day?

Why haven’t all the big business bailouts, the PPP loans which become grants, and all the government handouts to farmers every year since the 1940’s, the gop tax giveaways to the wealthy/corporations since 1980 ever paid back? Most of these borrowers earn $70,000 and less. They on the lower half of the income scale. M class wages have been stagnant, L class wages have declined, while the U class and corporations have skyrocketed in wages/profits since 1980. Prior to 1980, college was paid by public funds 80-100% of tuition. Why should Gen X and after have to pay for college when it’s the corporations, the wealthy, and the country as a whole benefit? Prior to 1980, most adults didn’t need college educations to find a decent paying job. Gen X have been asked to take on the equivalent of an additional down payment on a home or home mortgage to make the same wages as the ppl who did these same jobs back in 1980. If this country wants educated young ppl, this country can contribute to the education and training necessary to prepare our young ppl for work, like k-12 and every other wealthy country. U obviously don’t have a good understanding of the situation. What’s wrong r that so much of America r all for spending tax dollars on the wealthy and corporations but not on the ppl. No program will include all Americans but all M&L classes should be for their tax dollars going toward any group of M&L class ppl instead of the wealthy and corporations who r taking a huge sum of our tax dollars as well as the income and wealth of the M&L classes.

Who is it?

@@WakeRunSleep Elizabeth Prelogar, but i disagree that she was talking over the Justices, Alito would interject immediately after asking a question.

As a paralegal for nearly 20 years, I know first hand that when a lawyer does this on a consistent basis, it TURNS the judge against them out of pure spite. It is something that RUINS your argument in court more often than not.

​@@ShovelShovel He did, as is his right. It's his time to clarify the Court's understanding of the government's position. Pissing it away by reciting the same memorized spiel that the Justice had already rejected as non-responsive to his question was obnoxious and arrogant. Hope SCOTUS spikes this grotesque and unconstitutional abuse of authority for partisan political gain.

No doubt Daddy paid for everything until she graduated law school at about 32.

Money that they were adult enough to borrow, volunteered to borrow, and promised to pay back.

Then they should remove loans for colleges all together, because these days there is very little chance you will pay it back after you get your degree.

If anything the Pricey $$ Schools should Refund the $$$ ....

We as a nation do not owe any if these people the pay out 4 their student loans. They decided to go to school. Now that they r done with school, they go to work earn their money & pay THEIR debt just like all the rest of us do. We should not be held to account as taxpayers to pay their student loans while they declare that that $ will be used by them to vacation, get cars, etc. Tell the no way. Get up off your "entitled" lazy butts & go to work & pay your own education debt however LONG it takes just like many others have done.

No, it's the same stupid story...it's Unconstitutional and that's it, end of the stupidity

😂 the facts determine that not Pelosi

@NoodleDoodle HEROES act states otherwise.

Are you kidding? She's been amazing. She argues emotion with logic. Law is not about emotion. There is no law that is fair to every person equally.

​@@TheHumanTryp0d Thank You for saying this. Some of these people reacting are so out of touch with reality because of their emotions, they can't see she's absolutely crushing it!

@@TheHumanTryp0d She's playing a 2-7 off suit. Her case doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell. Maybe the new justice who can't define "woman" will throw her a bone.

@@mathman43 it doesn't have a chance of the judges allow politics and emotion to come into play, which we all know they will. But, on face value, based on the legal verbiage on it's own, everything Biden has done is legal and should pass

And mortgage debts as well.

A piece of paper and an entry level job!

It’s the money train

But when corporations get Corporate Welfare Subsidies and tax breaks (All at the tax payers expense), it's much needed, but when American's get any economic relief, then, it's Socialism and unaffordable.

​@@Chulitatr That's what I want to know, where's the outrage over corporate bailouts?

@@Chulitatr Point taken . Neither one should get government relief regarding these two situations.

No, Biden did it all by himself to try to buy votes. And on a more sinister objective, he knew from the get go this is a long shot. But why waste an opportunity to make the conservative look bad.

BBB you'd B if I hit you with a lemon creme pie on your mug.

You were being financially irresponsible for saving. You should’ve been investing. Especially when the Fed was cutting rates and benefiting all asset owners. Talk about fairness

​@@Pyrrhic. complete strawman

"if anything this encourages people to be financially irresponsible." Yes, as has always been the case with student loan guarantees. Worse, it motivates colleges to be exploitive. What even better, the people who benefit the most are the ones most irresponsible, and their reward is to be financially advantaged in the market at your expense.

@@hughjanus5518 I can argue both for and against student loans forgiveness. I see both sides of the argument and both sides have valid concerns. What about you? You only see one side?

You should probably listen better. The Heroes Act and the Higher Education act are being cited. Your crying is drowning out the actual words being spoken.

The old man tried to buy votes using tax payers' money. What a shameful man.
