The relief program Biden is attempting to get reinstated will forgive tens of millions of borrows from paying back hundreds of billions of dollars. Not millions, but billions.

The Biden administration claims the authority to forgive $10,000 student loan debt is allowable based on the HEROES Act of 2003, which allows forgiving debt from student loans when there is a national emergency.

The six states have written, “The Act requires a real connection to a national emergency. But the Department’s reliance on the COVID-19 pandemic is a pretext to mask the President’s true goal of fulfilling his campaign promise to erase the student-loan debt."
