SCOTUS blocks President Biden's student loan forgiveness plan

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : The Court wrote that Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona, under the HEROES law, could modify provisions related to financial assistance programs, but not unilaterally erase the debt itself."'Can the Secretary use his powers to abolish $430 billion in student loans, completely canceling loan balances for 20 million borrowers, as a pandemic winds down to its end?'" Roberts wrote.
46% : Part of the plan will ensure student loan borrowers pay a lower percentage of their income - a decrease from 10% of their disposable income to 5% - under federal income-driven repayment plans.
28% : In March 2022, SA passed a resolution calling for Biden to cancel student debt.
19% : The Supreme Court of the United States blocked President Joe Biden's plan to cancel $430 billion of student loan debt on Friday, ruling that federal law does not authorize the U.S. Department of Education to forgive student debt.
