US Supreme Court blocks student loan forgiveness plan - Lemmy.world

aw geez

America, can you explain?

This plan required an act of Congress, the president acted unilaterally and illegally in instituting the plan. The president isn't a dictator, he must go through congress for quite a number of things.

Strange though how the previous president doing the exact same thing but with ppp loans for businesses was all fine and dandy. Yes, yes, totally not a political judgement at all, nothing to see here

the exact same thing but with ppp loans for businesses was all fine and dandy

PPP was specifically authorized via an act of congress, the thing that the current president did not have.
