Biden Fought the Law and the Law Won… kinda
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2023 that President Biden lacks the authority to cancel student loan debt. “The Supreme Court blocked it,” he admitted, “but that didn’t stop me.” Yesterday Biden canceled $7.4 billion , bringing his total student debt relief to $153 billion since the high court said, “don’t.”
