I was talking to my conservative parents today and they were saying "don't count your chickens before they hatch" because there would be many lawsuits against this and they're hoping to get the forgiveness reversed. Of course this is a massively ghoulish position to hold, but after looking into it it does seem like they may be able to do this on the basis that the president can't really allocate money under the :constitution-cool:.

I don't think they actually will do this though because it would be wildly unpopular and diminish the ordinary populace's faith in the government even more. That may be a goal for Republicans though, but at some point the bourgeois must make concessions in order to placate the masses and I think this is probably one of those times.

What do yall think? Is this "illegal" and could it be overturned? Kinda worried about this because this eliminated my SO's student debt

    I had the same reaction as your parents for different reasons. Its foolish to invest power in the Democratic party full stop precisely because we doubt they can even rally their own party to go along with this.

    If you hold any sort of skepticism for the DCCC or the DNC then you should accept whatever W these ghouls do bring you, but avoid devoting any time or energy towards reelecting these people

      Yeah I'm not gonna go campaign for them, but I was just concerned that this one good thing they did would get reversed somehow. But yeah I'm thinking it probably won't at this point
