A federal judge in Missouri put a temporary hold on President Joe Biden’s latest student loan cancellation plan on Thursday, slamming the door on hope it would move forward after another judge allowed a pause to expire.
Just as it briefly appeared the Biden administration would have a window to push its plan forward, U.S. District Judge Matthew Schelp in Missouri granted an injunction blocking any widespread cancellation.
republican hate the people
Easy solution: don’t cancel debt for people who live in those states. Say the Republicans blocked it. Move forward with everyone else.
And then encourage people with useful degrees to move to states which will cancel the debt.
Yep, state rights! They want the states to decide, ok they decided. Now cancel my debt, I don’t live in those states.
They’re always for state’s rights- until the state decides they have the right to do something conservatives don’t like.
Here’s a funny thing- I used to regularly have to go to a place back in the 90s where I had to wait for a while and listen to their radio play Limbaugh as part of my job. So one day, this kid calls in. Literally a kid. Like a 15-year-old who called himself conservative.
So this kid says something to Limbaugh like, “what happens if we get what we want and abortion is sent back to the states and states keep it legal?”
Limbaugh hemmed and hawed and eventually said he’d have to think about it and get back to the kid, which I have to assume he never did because the answer is that conservatives only give a shit about state’s rights when it benefits them. And look where we are now, with talk of a national abortion ban.
