Biden again ‘rejected’ by the Supreme Court on the forgiveness of student debts

2023-06-30 21:13:27

Time.news – The Supreme Court has ruled that the White House has gone beyond its borders, deciding to forgive 400 of the 1.6 trillion dollars in debt incurred by tens of millions of the more than 45 million Americans who have taken out mortgages to pay for college studies and at the University.

The federal administration, the Court argued, should have first gone through a Congressional vote to move on to debt relief for a share of contractors. The decision, taken with the favorable vote of the six conservative judges and the three against of the liberal members, represents another slap in the face to the political agenda of the President of the United States Joe Biden, one year after the annulment of the federal right to abortion and the abatement of the plan to reduce harmful emissions by plants presented by the federal environment agency.

Unthinkable.

This fight isn’t over. I’ll have more to announce when I address the nation this afternoon.

— President Biden (@POTUS) June 30, 2023

The White House has announced that Biden will respond to the Supreme Court today and “announce new actions to protect students who have gone into debt to be able to study” and support the high costs of colleges and universities.

Biden “it will make it crystal clear to indebted people and their families that Republicans are responsible for denying the amnesty“. This measure, which has divided the country for a long time between those in favor and against, was decided to remove an economic noose from millions of families with medium-low incomes who, in order to allow their children to study, had opened loans, which can then be repaid on average in ten or twenty years, depending on the type of loan and the job then found at the end of the course.The “amnesty” will officially enter the presidential campaign from today.

Groups of civil rights activists have announced a protest march in Washington with the aim of urging Biden and the Democrats to enforce the promise and “make the cancellation of school debt a reality” for millions of Americans.
