Kan. AG vows to sue Biden over new student loan relief plan

Posted Apr 09, 2024 8:00 AM

TOPEKA — President Joe Biden on Monday announced new steps to help more than 30 million people from student loan debt.

On social media, Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach criticized the plan and posted a recent interview he did to explain why he's against Biden's effort.

Young voters have been impatient for Biden to follow through on his campaign promise to slash debt after the U.S. Supreme Court foiled his initial plan last year. The new plan is smaller and would expand federal student loan relief to new categories of borrowers.

Biden said he wanted to “give everybody a fair shot” and the “freedom to chase their dreams” as he lamented the rising cost of higher education.

(Deuteronomy 15:1-2) "At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts. This is how it is to be done: Every creditor shall cancel any loan they have made to a fellow Israelite. They shall not require payment from anyone among their own people, because the Lord's time for canceling debts has been proclaimed."

I don't get it. Who does this hurt? More to the point, how does this hurt the state of Kansas or the Kansas AG, and what gives him standing to file this suit?

This just seems pointlessly mean-spirited to me.

The stated reasons are all bullshit of course. The real reason is that it would benefit a large number of people, almost all of whom can vote.
