    It sucks to type that because I’m all for helping young adults get higher education. But I do agree with the court, it can’t be at the expense of executive orders because then we’ll be on a crazy hamster wheel with every president. Congress needs to do their dang job and create a college bill that everyone dislikes and likes.

      The debt relief was absolutely within the Executive branch’s delegated authority to do. The law Congress wrote and passed was very clear, and in very plain language.

      The case before the Court was absolutely ludicrous. A state has standing to sue the federal government because some private company within that state could potentially suffer a financial loss? Even when that company wanted no part of, and did not file suit in the first place?

      If I loan my sister who makes decent money $50, and then she applies for Medicaid and is denied, with this Court’s decision, I would have standing to sue the State because she would suffer a potential financial loss in having to pay healthcare premiums.

      Further, if the State did approve her for Medicaid, the insurance company could sue the State because they might suffer a financial loss in having my sister no longer need to pay them those same premiums.

      It’s absolutely wrong on even the most basic level.
