A U.S. appeals court has put an end to former President Joe Biden’s SAVE plan, which made taxpayers pay for student loan debt taken out by college students.
The decision by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals based in St. Louis said that Biden went beyond his authority when he ordered the Department of Education to forgive loans outright.
The lawsuit was brought by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey and attorneys general of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, North Dakota, and Ohio. This was the third legal challenge of Biden’s illegal attempts to work around the law and force some $450 billion in student loans onto Americans who did not sign for those loans.
“We obtained another court order BLOCKING an illegal Biden-era student loan scheme,” Bailey wrote on X on Tuesday. “Though [Biden] is out of office, this precedent is imperative to ensuring a President cannot force working Americans to foot the bill for someone else’s Ivy League debt. HUGE win.”
“The Secretary has gone well beyond this authority by designing a plan where loans are largely forgiven rather than repaid,” the court wrote.
Now that Donald Trump is back in the White House, it is unlikely the Department of Education will appeal the ruling.
Yo Whidbey TD…Trump continues his WINNIING streak!
Liberals heads are exploding.
Let’s keep going.
I love this!!! ❤️
Keep the momentum going. Don’t save the horses.
Every day it’s like Christmas! We just get a new, magnificent present to open up thinking it can’t get any better but here we are, another joyful WIN!
This is HUGE!!! We are sick to death of wealthy leftists politicians and Presidents trying to pass bills and force hard working Americans to pay for feckless students who refuse to pay their own college debits!!! Biden was like a drunken sailor on shore leave spending, spending, spending our hard earned money!
President Trump was absolutely wrong. Totally.
.
I am not tired of winning at all. In fact, I cannot imagine if I will ever get tired of winning.
Awesome!! There is Justice in our judiciary!
Excellent news this morning. Pay your own way.
Now make those whose loans were forgiven pay their loans back.
“Though [Biden] is out of office, this precedent is imperative to ensuring a President cannot force working Americans to foot the bill for someone else’s Ivy League debt. HUGE win.”
What about the “working Americans” that went to state schools?
Dan Baldwin’s comment, Now go back and make all the people who had their Student loan forgiven, pay up.
We/No one is responsible for YOUR debt, deadbeat!
