Biden’s Student Loan Plan Isn’t in the Clear

Biden’s Student Loan Plan Isn’t in the Clear

The debt relief proposal proposed by President Joe Biden to reduce the burden of student loans has been the topic of conversation for the past few weeks. It has sparked a raging debate among Republicans and Conservatives all around the country who are critical of the policy.

Obviously, the plan has the backing of the vast majority of Democrats, and some of them even advocated for the cancellation of an additional amount of debt (up to $50,000). In the end, the intention of President Biden to relieve as much as $20,000 still seems excessive to a significant number of taxpayers.

And there is a sudden possibility that the President’s plan will run into a significant obstacle, despite the fact that this information is being kept secret for the time being. The plan that President Biden proposed and unveiled the previous week would forgive up to $10,000 in student loans for borrowers with an annual income of less than $125,000 for individuals or $250,000 for households.

If they were to receive a Pell Grant, the federal government would waive up to $20,000 of their educational expenses. Economists and other critics claim that it will only boost inflation to a greater extent and that it is also an outrageous abuse of presidential authority. These detractors aren’t only voicing their complaints verbally; rather, it appears that many of them are organizing in order to thwart the implementation of the plan.

Grover Norquist, the organization’s founder, stated that they are looking for a partner with legal think tanks so that they may argue that the plan proposed by Biden has “no constitutional validity.”Norquist noted that members of Congress could file a lawsuit against the administration in response to this action, as it may be seen as an assault on their authority to create laws. This complaint has the potential to gather traction among D.C. political insiders for sure.

According to Norquist, Biden chose not to go via Congress because he feels the President would not have garnered sufficient support from Democrats. There is a legal precedent for this pushback as well, as Norquist cites the Supreme Court’s ruling in the case of West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency in June. This ruling made it more difficult for the EPA and other agencies to “apply expansive interpretations” of federal law. This pushback also has a legal basis.

In closing, he stated that if a President is capable of making anything like this happen once, “he can do twice this later.” Once the proposal has been approved and implemented, the issue will no longer be relevant since it’s water under the bridge. In addition to the work being done by Americans for Tax Reform, the conservative Job Creators Network is mulling over the possibility of bringing legal action against the administration of President Joe Biden.

Alfredo Ortiz, the CEO of the company, stated that they “already have a number of plaintiffs that would qualify for and satisfy the standing test,” and he referred to three Supreme Court cases that invalidated the policy of a federal agency that was in place under the administration of Joe Biden.

These are only a few of the known cases of critics who are fighting back against Biden’s plan, and it’s probable that some of them will take moves ahead in their opposition. Because of this, it might not be so simple for the President to get his contentious concept passed, which is encouraging news for a lot of people in the United States who are upset by the suggestion.
