President Biden won’t take no for an answer when it comes to his multi-billion-dollar student loan debt forgiveness schemes. 

Just four months after his first student debt forgiveness scheme was found unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court, yesterday, the President announced he would cancel an additional $9 billion in student debt for 125,000 borrowers. 

The President is determined to do whatever it takes to put the education of the upper class on the tab of middle- and working-class American families.

1. “Wednesday’s announcement of $9 billion in student-debt cancellation for 125,000 borrowers, the latest in a string of sizable discharges, helps just a small slice of more than 40 million who hold debt.”

2. "'This is part of a pattern of the Biden administration illegally acting without congressional approval, costing the American people hundreds of billions of dollars,’ said Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, the top Republican on the Senate Health and Education committee."

3. "The piecemeal approach to debt cancellation has added up. Including Wednesday’s canceled loans, the administration has now wiped out $127 billion in student debt, nearly one-third of the projected cost of the failed mass-cancellation plan.
