A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit brought by two conservative groups intended to halt the Biden administration’s plan to cancel $39 billion in student loans for more than 800,000 borrowers.

    Why tf do conservatives hate the students of America? There is little room for the US to compete on the world stage if no one (but nepo-babies) can afford to be educated here.

      1. It is denying the Democrats a win.

      2. Their districts are less educated so it doesn’t impact them as much

      3. It gets them redhatter votes

      You are right, long term policies like this are going to cripple our ability to compete. At a certain point we won’t be able to just depend on a stream of educated immigrants and kids of the super rich.

      Edit: you can also read what they claimed in the suit

      Adjustment will “extinguish the incentive for nearly a million student-loan borrowers to seek debt forgiveness through PSLF and thus will disadvantage [Plaintiffs] in the market to recruit and retain” borrowers as employees

      They won’t be able to get workers if workers have less debt. Don’t even try to hide it sometimes.

      Because you have to keep the voters uneducated since only stupid people vote Republican.

      Because there’s 2 types of conservatives, the rich and greedy self centered ass hats who don’t need an education. And then the stupid people. They’d be throwing away a part of their base if they allowed them to learn.
