A Republican-led effort to block one of President Joe Biden’s student loan debt relief programs in court has succeeded just days before it was set to go into effect.
Decisions by U.S. District Judges John Ross in Missouri and Daniel Crabtree in Kansas, both appointees of former President Barack Obama, on Monday sided with GOP state attorneys general in thwarting Biden’s Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan, according to Reuters.
The SAVE plan, which was set to go into effect on July 1, was initially announced by Biden in 2022 alongside a since-canceled larger plan that would have erased up to $20,000 in student loan debt for tens of millions of borrowers.
Except that Biden looks great - far more young voters will be peeved over the GOP blocking this than would have actually benefitted from the policy. “Biden tried to forgive your loans but the GOP just had to block it in the courts” - it might make Biden look somewhat incompetent but it mostly just makes Republicans look like they hate young people who are struggling.
Well, the ones who are actually paying attention will. The GOP is throwing everything the legally can to try to remain in power and get their orange dude elected to push the christofashism.
The Biden team needs to take their gloves off and go full out blasting all the shit the GOP is doing on every possible platform and media available with lawyers ready to intercept any GOP sue to silence them.
