As we know from handouts Trump took credit for, buying votes in this manner doesn't work as well as candidates would like. |

What student loan borrowers need to know after a federal court struck down Biden’s forgiveness program
Quote:
While the Biden administration has faced several legal challenges to the student loan forgiveness program since it was announced in August, the ruling on Thursday is the most significant setback thus far – prompting the Department of Education to stop accepting applications for debt relief.
Biden’s program was already on hold due to a separate legal challenge, but the administration had continued accepting applications, having received 26 million to date.
The Texas decision “makes it more likely that the issue will ultimately go to the Supreme Court, though it is still too early to say,” said Abby Shafroth, staff attorney at the National Consumer Law Center.
Borrowers will have to wait for the government’s appeal to the 5th Circuit Court to play out.
It could take months for the court to issue a final ruling. If it overturns the Texas lower court’s ruling, then the Biden administration could begin canceling student debt.
But the Department of Justice could also ask for an emergency stay of the Texas judge’s order. If granted – and if a different appeals court ends its temporary stay on the program in a separate, pending case – then the administration would be allowed to cancel debt before a final ruling is made by the 5th Circuit.

And yet, they set up the website to take applications, like it was legit.

I couldn't believe it when the local news was promoting the website and telling people to apply. My daughter and son in law told us they had applied and that they heard the checks would be out shortly. They had no idea there was any issue about it being real. |

It was a "carrot", bait to get those hoping for student debt relief to the polls during the mid-terms.

Biden even said that the checks would be mailed out. It seems that the loan applicants were led to believe that they would be getting checks in the mail for 10K. Biden is a liar. |

It wouldn't actually have been Biden forgiving the debt. That power would have been entrusted to the Secretary of Education.
I predict a few ways this may go:
1. Repayment paused again, at least for the duration of legal activity, and maybe even until July when other program changes are scheduled to take effect.
2. If the ruling comes down that debt forgiveness won't fly, the Sec Ed may tweak the program to simply stop repayment on all loans for those under the income cap while a new program is created or amendments are made to the existing PSLF or income-driven plans. In theory, they could hold repayment until the loans age out and are set to be forgiven by statute, leaving the ball in someone else's court to start repayment again. It could be a politically risky move for whoever comes next, and I wouldn't expect it to be automatic based on party. |

The federal student loan program should be abolished and privatized.
Banks charging high interest on what is a risky loan with little or no collateral to someone with no credit history isn't predatory lending. That's just good credit risk management.

Your post is a little off topic, but you've given me an idea. I'm starting a new thread. |

I think the only people that would get an actual check were the ones who paid during the pause who could get back up to $10k or $20k depending on what they paid during the pause.
Those getting student loan forgiveness would not get a check, their loan balance would go down by $10k or $20k. |
