The Save plan – a means-tested program – was blocked from further implementation by Republican-appointed judges
A federal appeals court has sided with Republican-controlled states to deliver another setback to Joe Biden’s student loan relief plan designed to reduce monthly payments for millions of lower-income graduates and speed up debt forgiveness for some borrowers.
A unanimous, unsigned ruling issued on Friday by three Republican-appointed judges in Missouri blocked further implementation of the Saving on a Valuable Education (Save) plan – the Department of Education’s means-tested debt relief program that is being challenged by seven Republican-led states.

Dems cannot let this go without a challenge. The GOP is giving the openings for their undoing, and the dems need to use them fiercely.
Republican messaging is that it’s a government handout, to the liberal elite, the leftist woke mob, and we paid our fair share to go to college, so they should too! You took the loans, you pay them back!
Or at least that’s what I see whenever I feel masochistic enough to look at the comments on broader social media. Those are the points that need to be countered.
Regardless of anything else, I give Biden credit for fighting like hell for this.
I’ve seen people somehow complain about him not getting this done, but like it’s really clear he’s doing all he can.
What standing, exactly, do these states have to sue over this?
Of “Fuck you”, thats whose standing
—Them, absolutely
If I remember correctly, it’s the fact that these loans are held by companies who pay state tax. If the loans are paid out by the federal government, the states’ future tax revenues will be diminished.

If hypothetical future revenue is ground for states to sue the federal government, you might as well dissolve the federation.

When congress introduces regulations or taxes it can also reduce revenue that states have right now. And let’s not get started on international politics.

How about all of the grifters who took advantage of Trump’s PPP scam pay back every penny they stole from taxpayers? Republicans can go eat shit.
Oh it wasn’t the Fifth Circuit this time. The 8th has issues, too.
