White House announces $7.4B student debt cancellation to give 'breathing room,' takes dig at House GOP

The White House on Friday will announce it is canceling an additional $7.4 billion in student loan debt for 277,000 borrowers.

www.foxbusiness.com

But.......................

The White House announcement comes at the heels of 18 states suing over Biden's student loan plan.

Missouri, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Oklahoma and North Dakota joined a growing number of states and filed a complaint against the plan on Tuesday.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey's lawsuit argued that Biden's "SAVE" plan, announced in February, is illegal and would cost American taxpayers $475 billion.

"The president does not get to thwart the Constitution when it suits his political agenda. I’m filing suit to halt his embarrassing attempt to buy the 2024 election in direct violation of the law. The Constitution will continue to mean something as long as I’m Attorney General."


Election interference at its best.

Election interference at its best.

Cut the whining. EVERY administration does things to pander to their target electorate so recognize that it's something every one does, which is the truth, and not election interference. I can think of more than a few "election interference moves" other presidents have made.

The only question on this initiative is its legality, and all presidents since TR have had some of ideas thrown out by the courts.

And, as if you didn't know, Joe is playing the "timing" game at a Jedi Master Level, just like some other former presidents. Announcing the initiative now, it stands a good chance of not being acted on by the courts until after the election so he gets the votes and if the courts strike it down, the thing doesn't come to fruition, brilliant!!

You may not like it, I don't, BUT it's NOT election interference...
