Biden’s chief of staff Ron Klain said that the president asked the Education Department to review his legal authority to cancel college debt and that he will determine how he could proceed, NBC News reports.
Biden asked Education Secretary Miguel Cardona to prepare a memo about his legal authority to cancel student debt, according to chief of staff Ron Klain on Thursday.
They plan to use money we don’t have to pay off loans without doing one single thing to address the problem. Therefore, the problem will continue to grow.
Klain said in an interview with Politico that Biden will decide how to proceed once he reviews the memo.
“He’ll look at that legal authority, he’ll look at the policy issues around that, and then he’ll make a decision,” Klain said. “He hasn’t made a decision on that either way. In fact, he hasn’t yet gotten the memos that he needs to start to focus on that decision.”
The Left will cleverly invent the authority to allow this taxation without representation.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and other Democrats on Capitol Hill are pressuring Biden to cancel up to $50,000 in student debt through executive action.
They can’t get a bill passed so they will do it by fiat. That’s who they are.
Biden has backed canceling up to $10,000. He’s waiting to see what legal authority he has. Frankly, he has none, but the Left will twist the law so they can do it.
The recipients will rejoice at the wealth redistribution and the message that you don’t have to pay for your own debt.

Personally. I’d like to see the Education Department and Teachers Unions cancelled! Then we can get back to the job of educating our children. The Government is a mess because it’s run by educated people instead of smart people – Huge Difference!
Might as well since a Marxist U. edumacation is worthless.
A 1950’s-1970’s HS education is probably better.
At least those vanity plates are so unique with the Marxist U. logo (sarc)
Our external enemies have masterfully infiltrated the CPUSA and will burn this country to the ground without firing a shot thanks to their fellow traveler faculty lounge comrades.
It couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of useless idiots.
They want us to be liable for contracts other people signed.
They loaned people money to study areas in which they cannot make money. Then they shut down the economy to hurt employment in general. Now they want us to pay for it.
An education secretary is not a contract expert, has no authority to cancel contracts.
The loan program came from congress, only congress can cancel student loan contracts.
