As you may have heard, President Joe Biden is expected to announce today that he, out of the kindness of his heart and with the spirit of generosity, will cancel $10,000 of student loan debt for each borrower who makes an annual salary of $125,000 or less.
The New York Times (@nytimes) ~ President Biden will announce a decision on Wednesday about his plans for student loan debt relief, people familiar with the matter said. White House aides said he was weighing a targeted plan that would provide $10,000 of debt relief for some borrowers.

Standard Democrat Operating Procedure = try to buy votes with other people's money.
You can almost feel the excitement with which the New York Times spread the news. And that probably makes you pretty angry.
Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) ~ It took three people to write these 24 paragraphs, and at no point did any of them manage to note that President Biden doesn’t have the authority to do this, and that everyone knows it.
Everyone does know it. At least everyone who’s willing to be intellectually honest with themselves and with each other.
You know who else knows it? House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Just a few months back, Pelosi herself quite explicitly reminded people that the president does not, in fact, have the power to just bypass Congress forgive student loan debt with the flourish of a pen:
RNC Research (@RNCResearch) ~ NANCY PELOSI in April: “People think that the president of the United States has the power for [student loan] debt forgiveness. He does not.”

Once or twice or three times more for the people in the back:
Senate Republican Communications Center (@SRCC) ~ REMINDER: Biden doesn't have the authority to forgive student loan debt. Even Speaker Pelosi agrees.
PELOSI: "People think that the President of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness. He does not ... The President can’t do it. So that’s not even a discussion."

Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) ~ Throwback to when Nancy Pelosi said the President doesn’t have the power for “debt forgiveness.”

Brad Polumbo (@brad_polumbo) ~ WATCH: Pelosi admits Biden doesn’t have legal authority to ‘cancel’ student debt. 👀

You guys know as well as anyone that we personally cannot stand Nancy Pelosi. But she had it right when it comes to the fact that Joe Biden would be overstepping his bounds by trying to cancel any amount of student loan debt.
So, with the president reportedly gearing up to do just that, what is Nancy Pelosi prepared to do to stop him? Anything? Or nothing?
Holden (@Holden114) ~ That was before. The Constitution has lived a little more since then.
So has Nancy Pelosi. And let’s just say you shouldn’t be remotely surprised if she’s changed her mind on some things.
Fusilli Spock (@awstar11) ~ Remember the DACA debate?
The Dems have no limiting principles other than; the ends justify the means.

As long as they let her drunken husband off with a light sentence for causing an automobile accident while driving drunk, right?
And it’s a safe bet that the mainstream media is just fine with that.
Andrew Wagner (@andrewwagner) ~ The second most powerful person in the US Govt has said explicitly and unequivocally that Joe Biden can't legally do what he's going to do today. Biden is breaking the law.
How is that not front & center in every single story about Biden's student loan bailout announcement?
Pradheep J. Shanker (@Neoavatara) ~ She'll just switch her position and our so-called objective media will let her get away with it.

Update
Oh, hey. It’s apparently gonna cost us even more than we were initially led to believe:
Jeff Stein (@JStein_WaPo) ~ SCOOP: White House expected to provide up to ***$20,000*** in student debt relief 4 ***Pell Grant*** recipients, sources tell @DaniDougPost & me
Would have to be under $125K ($250K jointly) to qualify.
Other recipients believed @ $10K
Final details TBD

Anytime you wanna step in and put a stop to this, Nancy, we’d be cool with that.
