Biden administration stops taking applications for student loan forgiveness

Smart move. Thank you Texas.

Why?

This is why.

Snippet....


Pittman ruled that the White House did not have “clear congressional authorization to create a $400 billion student loan program.

“In this country, we are not ruled by an all-powerful executive with a pen and a phone,” Pittman wrote in his order.


Moral of the story? Go through congress first. Not through a centralized political figure like Communist China has.

I was more making a point that while some are busy calling Biden "authoritarian" for forgiving some student debt, there are major attacks on personal rights and freedoms being carried out in multiple states. It's like missing the elephant in the room to chase after a rat.

That would be ideal. Unfortunately Congress is notoriously incapable so Executive Orders are often the only way to make anything happen at all.

Sad day indeed. Oh well. Doesn't impact me any.

Your title is hideously misleading. No, the Biden Administration did not stop taking applications because some pissant Texan judge got his panties in a knot. All his little temper tantrum does is delay the process while the Department of Justice appeals to the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals.
