As my colleague Brandon Morse reported, President Joe Biden is about to blatantly break the law to “cancel” thousands of dollars of student loan debt accrued by some of the most privileged members of society. Of course, nothing will actually be canceled. Instead, because the government will simply be out that money, the burden of those debts will be transferred from those who accrued them to hundreds of millions of taxpayers who didn’t.
The White House will announce on Wednesday the cancellation of up to $10,000 in student loan debt for for borrowers who make less than $125,000, a source

The Republicans are going to roll over and play dead and do absolutely nothing. That is what they are good at.

Ok, can I have the same outrage for the US spending over $9 billion dollars on Ukraine in the past 6 months?

We wanted to give our 2 sons debt free educations so they didn't have student loan debt. As a result, we refinanced the house, my husband worked 18 hour work days and I worked overnight shifts.
In the end, we had to sell the house and move south, away from our children, so they didn't have debt. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't have sent them to college. I'd rather be near our kids and neither is working in a career that needs a degree!
Where do I go to get my rebate?

What's the point? Democrats and their media lap dogs will sing his praises and declare him the best president EVER. So long as there are 34 democrats in the Senate, he will never be convicted. So, impeachment is a complete waste of everybody's time. SHOULD he be impeached and forcibly ejected from the White House? Yes!! Will it happen? No.....................

Will to $10,000 be considered income and, therefore, taxable income?

#8, it depends on how the EO is worded. It should be considered imputed income and therefore taxable.

I think that the next Republican president (dream on ... I know, I know) should announce a cancellation of the income tax.
The Fed can just print any money that the Gov't wants to spend.

McConnell and McCarthy will go mumble bumble, maybe issue a "strong statement " or promise some action in the distant future and in a week it will be forgotten, America will be even deeper in debt and Biden will have purchased some number of votes for a paltry $10,000 of other people's money. The Republican Party with the current so-called "leadership" is worse than useless.

#5, I agree that $10,000 is a joke and a drop in the bucket for most of those who have outstanding loans but, I don't support this at all.
Many people have accrued loans that are far greater than their degree could possibly command in compensation from any job they would get. Some also take every cent they can get and go on vacations and buy cars, etc. Many of the degrees are worthless in the real word.
When it comes to mortgage loans, yes they are not the same thing as student loan debt because the people who are taking out a mortgage have something called collateral. If they find that they can't pay it back, the bank takes the house back. No one else is on the hook.
This is not fair to those of us who put ourselves through school, and now, have put our kids through school, without debt. It is possible to do that...if you're willing to sacrifice a bit.
I could see some forgiveness in situations where the person has a profession like a doctor, lawyer, therapist, etc., might offer their services in programs tor a period of years to those who could not afford their services. Similar to Community Service.
Outright forgiveness is pandering for votes and a slap in the face to responsible taxpayers.

I never went to college, but ended up as the CFO of a small county. Went on to be a programmer and had a very successful career. I'm not rich, but have a nice retirement. In my career I've seen a lot of "educated stupid" people.

Failing to secure our border is a much more brazen impeachable offense. If no one could get a student loan colleges would be forced to be affordable. One of my nieces didn't get a student loan. Her parents paid for six years of college so she could get a
BS and almost get a Masters degree in Psychology. He current job is delivering pizzas for Papa Johns. She told me it wasn't a complete waste of money because she knows big words which impress her fellow employees.

So many being so darned certain Republicans will do nothing is giving them an excuse to do nothing: "The proles always complain but themselves do nothing but blah, blah, blah sorry RINOs, etc. So why bother to impeach Biden if/when we take over? Those who are dead set against us will get what they deserve." At the rate we're going, with MAL sucking all of the oxygen from the 2022 atmosphere, the media ducking blaming Biden or democrats for much of anything, and all of the anti-Republican chants coming from "conservative" web sites, we probably won't re-take the Senate and we might not even re-take the House, which will give Biden the carte blanche he now enjoys. with both houses of Congress rubber stamping his radical leftist agenda. Maybe one day Charlie Brown will connect with the football; he just needs a new holder.

And those of us who struggled to pay our own way, pay our debts and taxes have to pick up the slack for these dead beats. They committed to pay it back, so pay it!!

I wonder what will happen when I write off my share of this debt next year on my tax form?
87,000 IRS agents will land on my porch.

File a lawsuit to stop this from happening! Everything Trump tried to do was met with a Dem lawsuit, and it slowed him down.

This is Biden and the Crats buying votes with taxpayer money. While the students who borrowed might have a little less debt, their worthless degrees in Nothing Study's still won't get them a good paying job. Enjoy your much deserved $15/hr jobs.

It's either authoritarian (if "cancel" means to void the debts, which would violate private property rights), or simply unconstitutional (if "cancel" means federal taxpayers will cover them... because spending is unambiguously in the Legislative branch, not the Executive branch).
If the latter, which seems more likely, the House Speaker ought to be raising holy hell and threatening impeachment; but she's too busy conducting the Orange Man Bad witch hunt (a.k.a. 1/6 committee hearings).

Biden has been violating the immigration laws by instituting his “open borders” policies that are flooding the USA with millions of migrating illegal aliens. What have the wimpy Republicans done about that?

Spending is the responsibility of the Legislative branch. File the lawsuit and get this stopped.

Logic dictates that students who took out loans to buy useless degrees are all making under $125,000 because aforementioned useless degrees do not turn into lucrative jobs. Joe is a brain-dead head of cabbage who goes along with every stupid Leftist fantasy so prepare to be disappointed by his sham administration once again. The only thing you will hear from republicans will be more solicitations for campaign money so they can keep their own jobs for another two or four years.
