 Supreme Court, Republicans to blame for lack of debt forgiveness, students say in poll

The Supreme Court and Republicans are on the top of the list for college students and recent graduates to blame for the lack of student debt relief after the high court’s recent ruling striking down President Biden’s forgiveness plan, according to a new poll from Generation Lab.

The survey released Tuesday showed 47 percent of college students and recent graduates across the country blame the Supreme Court for unforgiven student loan debt, while Republicans came in second place at 38, 10 percent blamed the president and only 4 percent blamed Democrats.

The Supreme Court at the end of June ruled against Biden’s up to $20,000 in student debt relief, a decision that was celebrated by Republicans and denounced by Democrats.

The challengers in the case that ultimately led to the demise of the president’s plan were six Republican-led state attorneys general.

The poll found 77 percent of young people knew about the court’s recent decision, while 23 percent did not.

Sixty-one percent of those surveyed did not agree with the Supreme Court’s ruling, and only 17 percent did. Twenty-one percent were not sure if they agreed or disagreed with the court’s decision.

The results of the survey were first reported by Axios.

The student debt relief would have helped more than 40 million borrowers with student debt, costing around $400 billion.

Biden has been sure to keep all eyes on Republicans after the plan was shot down by the court.

What moron is ALLOWING an 18-25 year old with no equity to get into $80-100k in debt when they can't even float a  $3500 car loan?

I truly feel sorry for these idiots, taken by a college system that puts them into a life of perpetual debt that cannot be absolved, even under bankruptcy. But they signed the contract. There it is.

They owe it, that's true. And they are to blame for where they are. Caveat Emptor.

But the imbalance is there. And it is grievous. And uncle  nanny is laughing all the way to the bank. And the colleges are held blameless, already paid for providing a worthless piece of paper. And the schmuck with the bachelor's degree is slinging hash. Forever.

That would be the federally subsidized student loan system - i.e., the government.

It's Republicans fault - our fair and balanced genius professors said so.
