A Huge Blow to Biden

 

On June 30, 2023, the Supreme Court struck down the Biden Student Loan Forgiveness plan. Good! Serves Biden right. He isn’t a King, or worse, who just will proclaim something and voila’ it’s done.

 He should know better. He was in Congress from 1973 until 2009 as a Senator and was Vice President from 2009 to 2017. You would think that he would know what was Constitutional and what wasn’t. But instead. he would just usurp Congress’ power of the purse and try to unilaterally fulfill a campaign promise.

 And then, the Supreme Court called him on it by stating that he did not have that power. In fact, they even quoted Nancy Pelosi who said in 2021, that it was not the President’s authority, but the Congress.

 He knew this. And now he will try to blame the Court when it was he who screwed up. From 2021 to January 3, 2023, his party controlled both Houses of Congress. Instead of making a promise he knew he could not keep and did not offer a bill to have the Congress pass legislation he could sign, he did not. Why? Because too many Democrats facing re-election figured they would lose if they tried and told him not to even consider that option. Including Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

 Now, if he tries to propose such a bill, he would be laughed out of Washington. He will be mistaken if he tries to blame the Supreme Court as he campaigns for a second term. Even I would be able to beat him if he tried that stupid stunt.

As for trying to use the HEROES Act of 2003, that was a poor reason since it was written to provide for returning military from Afghanistan and Iraq. Whoever is advising him should be fired immediately.

 He was too busy writing executive orders for everyone to wear masks and watching the sheep obey it. He thought he could do this, too. Just so everyone understands, executive orders are Constitutionally valid when the Congress is not in session, and only if there is a threat to our national security during Congress’ absence. Not for every little idea that crosses the mind of a President to fit an agenda. This applies to Presidents from both parties, not just Biden.

 The problem, ultimately, is that colleges and universities charge too much money for education. And the Department of Education, since the 1970s, has allowed this to happen to where the cost of tuition is now at obscene levels. And has failed in its primary responsibility.

 Someone said to me today that that the government needs to do something to help students manage their education costs. All I can say is this. How is Medicare doing? Or the Veterans Administration?

 As Ronald Reagan said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English Language are, I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”
