That's where things get screwed up. They come up with good programs that work well for the vast majority of people, but there's always the undeserving few that game the system and they get all the publicity. So they go back and try and tighten things up and plug the holes and before long the whole program becomes so unwieldy that the benefits get lost. Sometimes you just have to accept that a few assholes are going to make out that shouldn't have.
Reverifying income every year doesn’t burden the program. All it takes is a copy of their return.
I should have been clearer, I was talking in broad general terms about what happens to so many of the programs that start out with so much promise and end up being turned into crap. I wasn't referring to this program in particular.
I don’t want to know what’s going on in the alternate universe where DeSantis lost in 2018. Just shows you how consequential that narrow election was
Biden cancels $10,000 in federal student loan debt for most borrowers
President Joe Biden announced he will forgive $10,000 in federal student debt for most borrowers.www.cnbc.com
1. How does he have the power to do this? Under what law or Constitutional provision?
2. Isn't he just buying the votes of rich suburbanites (with taxpayer money) to the detriment of the working class?
turns out the answer is no

Because butt hurt Republicans getting a Trumper judge to rule against it was all part of the Democrat plan?
JUST in time for mid terms counting to almost be over, 3 days after the election.

But how do you figure that being planned given that dems are not the ones responsible for trying to derail it?
Or are you implying both parties are secretly working together? Although figuring out why the gop would give the assist would be difficult to explain

You have stated very little other than leaving the implication that dems somehow orchestrated this to help them with the midterms and nothing else.
But that implication doesn't hold water.
If that wasn't what you attempted to imply then feel free to clarify.
Democrats and Republicans should both be against a President unilaterally deciding to spend 100s of billions of taxpayer dollars. The President doesn’t appropriate funds, Congress does.
Hickory Head is a threat to democracy
perhaps i'm wrong, but i got the impression Joe Hoopsier was referring to the judge waiting till just after the election to make that ruling, so the ruling wouldn't hurt Pubs in the election.

Supreme Court will hear challenge to Biden's student debt-relief program
The court's action means the rollout of debt cancellation will remain blocked until justices hear arguments about the program in February.

As it should be. The Republicans should have loudly condemned this program across the country. The deadbeats may have loved it, but the taxpayers on the hook for bailing them out don’t love it. And it’s clearly unconstitutional.
Yeah they are just going through the motions at this point. If Biden wanted that he needed to get his Congressional partners to pass it. There is no way this Supreme Court is going to let that fly.
Why? You mean he can't change law without going through the legislature first? Interesting...
I do wonder. Is Biden doing all this extra-constitutional stuff as simple virtue signaling because he knows SOCTUS will knock it down? Eviction moratoriums, vaccine mandates, loan forgiveness?
What if we had 6 Sotomayor's on the court? Would we just be a failed government with no checks and balances? Or would Biden reel it in?
Once you make a majority of the people poor, giving the poor free money has a bigger impact.
True, but the subset of people who still owe money on college loans is miniscule compared to the groups who have paid off their loans or didn't go to college.
This wasn't a pay off to the poor though. I make six figures and was in line to get $10k.
Possibly, but I make enough that I don't need bailed out. I mean, if they were going to throw money out to people I would be dumb not to grab it but it isn't needed.
Just to be clear, I make 6 figures as well...if you include the decimal point.
Most of us here are probably better off than the average American due to the college degrees. It is a hard sell to tell someone making $20 an hour that they need to bail us out, ya know.
Guess who said this today ..... Tim Scott, that's who.. Me and Trump just keep getting sh@t right !
