Ever notice how forgiving loans is suddenly a big problem when students get much-needed relief, but nobody blinks an eye when the richest 20% of American households get their PPP loans forgiven? Or when corporations are handed billions in subsidies?

Biden needs to do something decisive and out-of-the-box. I would ignore SCOTUS and go ahead and do the debt relief. What is SCOTUS going to do; absofinglutely nothing. They have no enforcement mechanism to stop it.

@lednabm @rbreich oh we really don't want Biden going down that path. If a Democrat President were to go against a Supreme Court ruling to do something beneficial like student loan relief I can only imagine what horrible things a Republican President would then be willing to do in violation of Supreme Court rulings. Do not set that precedent.

Don't be ridiculous... the reTHUGliCONs break rules regularly. They will do what they want anyway. Get a grip!

@lednabm @rbreich we have yet to see a sitting President, of either party, violate a ruling against them by the Supreme Court. It is a precedent that should not be set. The Republican party already has plans to consolidate power in the executive branch. We do not want to give them the ammunition to decide that the executive branch cannot be held accountable by the judicial branch. Can you imagine what a Republican President could do to this country if they believed that power?

@kcmogeek @rbreich Wrong... Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln did it. Do some research before saying stuff. Also, simpler yet, just agree to disagree and move on.
