17. "unpopular opinion, but I'm not with it"
In response to In response to 0


          

Mainly because as far as I can tell, the president doesn't have the authority to cancel school loans. Even if he does try it with an EO, it'll just get clogged up in the courts before it's overturned by our very conservative supreme court.

Instead use that political capital to modify the system of school loans, put a cap on the max amount entities can charge in interest and fees (both public and private but esp private), and force those very loud mouthed senators to write legislation for school loan forgiveness that'll actually pass a legal challenge.

(also for the record I'm not against school loan forgiveness, but I am against performative gestures that will do nothing but get overturned in court and give Republicans yet another talking point to use against Democrats)
