Blatant politics from the Supreme Court. The states had no standing to appear before the court on a federal issue. Kagan dissent was the ruling that should have been.

Yes it is. And those who didn’t make payments or weren’t able to during the pause just extended their debt slavery by 3 years.

It’s outrageous that loans that cannot be discharged have such high interest rates.

It’s outrageous that the something that benefits us all must be taken on by those willing to step up and learn.

Well at least we saved a massive amount with inflation, better to pay it now 4 years later after having it at 0 interest than 4 years ago when money was worth more

When I got engaged to my wife and we were going over our finances, her student loans blew my mind. The way they set up her payments, more than half of her loans were growing despite making monthly payments. The freaking interest was higher than she paid in every month.

I have a friend in the same position. It’s actually pretty sad to see. They will never be out from under the crushing weight of this debt.

I do not get how these 6 states were determined to have standing in the first place? Isn’t the whole US justice system predicated on the fact that you need to experience direct or indirect harm, be an actually involved party for you to be able to sue? They’re federal loans, so federal money, where does their standing come from?

You think any of this matters to fundamentalists in robes? They’re the scum of the Earth, and Biden is too gutless to take them on, and had the gall to say he has a ‘fear of politicizing’ the court.

The US is beyond redemption.
