Lame-duck President Joe Biden’s latest plan to wipe the student debt of college-educated voters has been blocked by a federal judge.
A President Donald Trump-appointed judge in Missouri granted a temporary pause of another push by Biden to redistribute the student loan debt of 30 million borrowers.
The ruling came after a judge in Georgia let the previous injunction expire.
Six conservative states initially got Georgia to pause the plan.
However, the judge in Georgia, who originally granted the injunction, decided that it didn’t have standing to pursue the case there.
U.S. District Court Judge J. Randal Hall agreed that Missouri does have standing, however.
U.S. District Judge Matthew Schelp, a Trump appointee, quickly stepped in to pause the plan before it could begin being implemented on Monday.
In a statement, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey said:
“This is yet another win for the American people.
“The Court rightfully recognized Joe Biden and Kamala Harris cannot saddle working Americans with Ivy League debt.”
The other states that joined the suit were:
- Alabama
- Arkansas
- Florida
- North Dakota
- Ohio
Biden latched onto student loan forgiveness as a way to get younger voters to vote for him.
Yet, the controversial scheme uses taxpayer money to essentially buy votes for the Democrats.
Nevertheless, it now appears to be a moot point since Vice President Kamala Harris replaced Biden as the Demcrats’ candidate.
Of course, she will claim that she was every bit as involved as he was in the plan.
However, it hasn’t achieved universal popularity.
Many young people are deciding not to go to college due to inflation and better opportunities in the trades.
For someone who has $30,000 to $40,000 in student loan debt, the idea of loan forgiveness sounds great for some.
Nevertheless, Americans who go straight to work after high school would be forced into paying off other people’s college loans.
Those without student debts, meanwhile, get nothing.
The courts have consistently pushed back on Biden’s numerous student loan forgiveness programs.
The efforts to block the plans have been saving taxpayers billions of dollars.
The courts still have to make a final decision on this one, but for now, the status quo will continue.
