No, it wasn’t. Read the law, someone posted it here earlier today.

Yes, it was. You read the law.

The law is full of the word “or.” Read it again.

Prediction: Supreme Court strikes down Biden's forgiveness plan.
Roberts, Thomas, Aliso, Gorsuch, Kavanagh will vote to strike down.
Sotomayor, Kagan, Jackson, and Barrett vote to hold up.

Good outcome.

In 2021, the legal counsel for the DoE looked at whether The Heroes Act justified mass cancellation of debt and concluded “the Secretary does not have statutory authority to provide blanket or mass cancellation, compromise, discharge, or forgiveness of student loan principal balances."

Biden knew this. But, he even said he didn't have the authority. So did Nancy Pelosi.
But, the left-wing base kept the pressure going. Biden figured he had nothing to lose.

So he cynically enacted a policy he knew was outside his authority prior to an election with the understanding that, even if reversed, a sympathetic press would help him blame his political opponents and the courts for the consequences of reversing the policy.

You’re not a young voter.

The average college student is 24 and the average graduate student is 32, so the “I didn’t know what I was doing!” argument is moot.

What percentage of young people have student loans? Or rather, meaningful levels of student loans? The numbers I've seen indicate most have manageable levels, in other words not the 300k horror stories.

None of those “average student loan” amounts include Parent Plus Loans. A student can’t take out more than about $30k on their own.

Then you must also like assault rifles and forced birthing. You should be so proud.

Just stop your propaganda. A lot of younger voters educated enough to understand the law and recognize media's misrepresentation and manipulation.

Yes, educated young people are a core GOP constituency

One of the protesters lamented that her college loans were so overwhelming that she "couldn't buy a house as soon as she wanted."

Tough toodles.

Americans are vile people, in large numbers. Gloating over sticking crippling debt to regular people instead of being offended by predatory lending practices that keep the poors in check their entire lives.

You people are disgusting.

Your ideology causes the predatory lending. Washington DC drops bags of money everywhere.

You didn't think schools and the medical establishment weren't going to take advantage of that and jack up prices to sop up all that "free money"?

Democrats: College grads make a lot of money and pay a lot in income taxes over their lifetime, and thus college should be free because it’s a good investment in the future.

Also Democrats: College grads can barely make ends meet and want their loans to be paid off with other people’s tax dollars. They can’t find good-paying jobs.
