A Republican-led effort to block one of President Joe Biden’s student loan debt relief programs in court has succeeded just days before it was set to go into effect.

Decisions by U.S. District Judges John Ross in Missouri and Daniel Crabtree in Kansas, both appointees of former President Barack Obama, on Monday sided with GOP state attorneys general in thwarting Biden’s Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan, according to Reuters.

The SAVE plan, which was set to go into effect on July 1, was initially announced by Biden in 2022 alongside a since-canceled larger plan that would have erased up to $20,000 in student loan debt for tens of millions of borrowers.

    What ever happened to the loan forgiveness plan where all they were doing was correctly applying the law to loans that should have been legally forgiven already, but weren’t, due to bureaucracy?

      They did start to clean some of that up actually.

        That’s nice to hear. Was worried they’d somehow stop that one too.
