Since last summer, President Biden has been trying to unilaterally redistribute hundreds of billions of dollars to a group of Americans who already out-earn the average worker. With the Democrats’ inflation already crushing blue-collar families, the president wants to make our nation’s cashiers, construction workers, waitresses, truck drivers, tradespeople, and veterans absorb student-loan debt that was voluntarily taken on by fellow citizens including doctors and lawyers who make six figures.
President Biden’s stab at student-loan socialism is wildly unfair to millions of families who chose to make different kinds of sacrifices to avoid debt. But the problems with the policy do not stop there. The president’s gambit also has fundamental legal problems that we and 41 other Republican senators detailed in a brief we submitted to the Supreme Court. These issues came to a head last week when the Court heard oral arguments concerning some of the most consequential separation-of-powers questions it has ever considered.
