Fortunately, my parents will follow through and pay off their loans now that the decision is final. Also, fortunately, after 60 straight years of voting Republican, my conservative parents will no longer vote for the GOP because of their hyper focus on woke, guns, and anti-everything. They are tired of the division, mass shootings, outright mean spirted hate, and bullshiit. The party no longer represents THEM. Congrats, Trump voters. Up NEXT: Interracial Marriage Gay Marriage Contraception So much winning. Thank you for your measured response. I get the frustration from your parents perspective, as our friend Muppy says rarely is anyone 100% conservative or 100% liberal. We’ve come this far, so I wonder if we can see it through. The math suggests your parents are pushing 80 years old. It seems they have the money to help your siblings, what was their thinking before this was finalized today? While the chatter on student loan forgiveness has been around for a number of years (as has the dialogue on the exponentially increasing cost of education), the actual Biden plan is really still in its infancy. Assuming (now, based on the 60 year voting record) your younger siblings are older, why didn’t they just pay off the loan to begin with? As for being careful what you wish for, we need not capitulate out of fear of the next big thing that liberal or conservative Americans might want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then grandchildren happened and well, that changed everything. This goes in the “people are complicated basket” imo. If you hang in on the “your debt your responsibility” mantra, I can understand wanting the Biden loan program going through because it benefits those you love. I don’t understand that as some last straw issue that pushes folks to the liberal left. No judgement intended, I just don’t get that one. Thanks, and sounds like you have great parents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 1 minute ago, B-Man said: As we now know thanks to Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the dissents from liberal Supreme Court justices that defend President Biden's attempt to skirt Congress and "forgive" student loan debt can be filed under "A" for "alternate reality." Up next is Justice Elana Kagan, who presented a hypothetical to explain why people who borrowed money in the form of student loans shouldn't have to be burdened by actually having to pay it back. This one comes with a beverage warning: and it's real So if I understand this correctly, you can get out of your student loan bills if you set off a dirty bomb in Chicago. https://twitchy.com/dougp/2023/06/30/scotus-justice-kegans-dissent-contains-a-hypothetical-that-you-have-to-see-to-believe-n2384997 I haven't read the whole Sotomayor dissent. But here's something to be aware of: this is how appeals court arguments go! Justice Breyer was famous for asking long hypotheticals, sometimes with fact patterns this bizarre. What they're trying to do is to get the other side to concede that under some circumstances their view (that complete loan forgiveness is authorized) may be acceptable. That shoots down the argument that under the language Congress used, loan forgiveness is never authorized. If the other side (or another Justice) says, yeah, well, we're not talking about that, then you've made your point. [Granted, this is a silly hypothetical. But still, appellate lawyers are used to this kind of thing] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
