Student-loan forgiveness is proof Dems don’t care about the rule of law

President Joe Biden’s pricey student-loan-forgiveness scheme is fresh proof of how little Democrats care about the rule of law and the Constitution, for all their noise to the contrary.

Last year, the Education Department admitted it lacks “the statutory authority” to forgive student loans on a “mass basis.” Speaker Nancy Pelosi, too, stressed that the president lacks “the power for debt forgiveness”; per the Constitution, it requires “an act of Congress.”

But now, after years of the left claiming they are the party of “norms,” Biden’s announced he’ll simply write off $300-plus billion owed Uncle Sam anyway.

Team Biden pretends the HEROES Act, passed in the wake of 9/11 primarily for military personnel, gives it the power to. Ridiculous. Especially since the “national emergency” that supposedly justifies using that act — the pandemic — is the same one the White House said has ended to justify scrapping the Title 42 order that allows illegal-immigrant deportations for public-health reasons.

It’s beyond cynical: Biden’s basically daring the courts to strike it down. If they flinch, he gets his way; if they don’t he still gets credit for “trying,” plus Dems get to scream about the “activist” courts.

  1. Need help with my math on this particular tax.

    1 Trillion is the expense (right now). Over 330 million population. Lets say 165 million are adults and pay this tax. Wouldnt it be roughly $6.50 each one time? Again im only talking this and not the 33+ trillion on the books. Some of us are taxed 30..40..50 % of our income and that is never enough.

    Simple math (which our snowflakes cannot comprehend)
