The Supreme Court has rejected President Biden's student debt plan, which aimed to reduce monthly payments and speed up the path to student loan relief, declining to lift the block on the administration's proposal.
The new plan was part of a piecemeal approach by the White House after the Supreme Court had previously ruled that the administration had overstepped its authority in attempting to forgive more than $400 billion in student loans. Wednesday's decision to reject the plan came without any noted dissents.
The Hill continues:
The Justice Department's emergency appeal asked the Supreme Court to lift a lower-court ruling currently halting President Biden's plan as a legal challenge proceeds.
It is not a final ruling, and the legality of the plan could ultimately return to the high court.
“The Court expects that the Court of Appeals will render its decision with appropriate dispatch,” reads one of the two orders declining to take up the cases at this time.
For now, it drives a sword in the administration's ability to implement its Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan.
Many argue that student loan forgiveness is unfair to those who have already paid off their student loans, often at great personal sacrifice. They feel that loan forgiveness effectively rewards those who took on more debt or didn't prioritize repayment.
Others contend that forgiving student loans disproportionately benefits college graduates, who generally have higher earning potential, while leaving out those who did not attend college or who paid for it without loans.
The financial cost of student loan forgiveness is a significant concern. Critics argue that it could add substantially to the national debt and that taxpayers would bear the burden.
Some economists warn that large-scale debt forgiveness could contribute to inflation by increasing disposable income for a significant number of people, potentially driving up demand for goods and services in an already inflationary environment.
It also does not address the underlying issue of skyrocketing college costs.
The administration is currently exploring other avenues to provide relief to student loan borrowers, including new pathways to loan forgiveness.
