Can someone explain this to me: there are plenty of less expensive in-state schools and community colleges available in US. There are plenty of free college options available if you have financial need or have great grades. If these people chose to go to more expensive or private schools, I am fine with that. But should we apply the same approach to the people who chose private schools for their school age kids when the free public schools are an option? What is the difference?

That benefited the right people, this is benefiting the wrong people

SCOTUS is hearing the case today. Hopefully, they will do what is right and render a unanimous decision that this move by Biden is unconstitutional.

In 2003 when George W bush was president, congress passed a bill allowing for this to happen, like it or not this happened in 2003..
Go take it up with Bush and 2003 congress. We are all not Dc mom rich and don’t have money to pay the loan.

That was for military members.
If you signed for the loan, you should pay it back. That is part of the deal.

Um, not it was not just for military members.

Here's the statute:

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, unless enacted with specific reference to this section, the Secretary of Education (referred to in this part as the “Secretary”) may waive or modify any statutory or regulatory provision applicable to the student financial assistance programs under title IV of the Act [20 U.S.C. 1070 et seq.] as the Secretary deems necessary in connection with a war or other military operation or national emergency to provide the waivers or modifications authorized by paragraph (2).

(2)Actions authorized
The Secretary is authorized to waive or modify any provision described in paragraph (1) as may be necessary to ensure that—
(A)recipients of student financial assistance under title IV of the Act who are affected individuals are not placed in a worse position financially in relation to that financial assistance because of their status as affected individuals;
...
(2) Affected individual The term “affected individual” means an individual who— (A) is serving on active duty during a war or other military operation or national emergency; (B) is performing qualifying National Guard duty during a war or other military operation or national emergency; (C) resides or is employed in an area that is declared a disaster area by any Federal, State, or local official in connection with a national emergency; or (D) suffered direct economic hardship as a direct result of a war or other military operation or national emergency, as determined by the Secretary.

If we can forgive billions of dollars of PPP loans, including to federal and state politicians who didn't even qualify, then we can forgive student debt at some level.

Because then the same six a-hole states would sue because they are being treated differently. They will look for any excuse whatsoever to sue the Biden administration because they care more about scoring political points than they do about helping people.

I am thrilled they have filed this suit.
It is not fair to tax payers all over the country to have to foot the bills for those who chose to take a loan that they now want somebody else to pay.

My loan servicing company just informed me that I get no credit for their 3 years of payments because I wasn’t in the proper payback category. Like WTF?!

Loan servicing is a for-profit business that makes money by screwing with borrowers.

They took the money but aren't crediting you for it? Report them for FRAUD and theft of government funds.

Why haven't the people who signed their name for the loans paid them back? It would completely resolve the injury to the American people if they are forgiven.
