The president created draconian bankruptcy laws — now his administration appears to be trying to overturn a ruling that helps those bankrupted by student loans.

On January 14, a federal judge in Biden’s home state of Delaware moved to eliminate nearly $100,000 in student loan debt held by a 35-year-old epileptic man. In response, the Justice Department filed a notice of appeal in the case on behalf of Education Secretary Miguel Cardona. If Biden officials now follow through with a fully formed appeal, they would not only be aiming to keep this man overwhelmed with debt, but also moving to solidify a legal interpretation that could preclude even the most beleaguered student debtors from getting relief through bankruptcy courts.

      True! And my district is 60%+ at risk and rising.

      Why the fuck would you care about my class if mom and dad are fighting/divorcing or you don't have food or you have to walk to school in -30 wind-chill because your school won't delay?

      I wouldn't. I don't know what the answer is, I just know it's fucked and becoming more fucked.
