The Department of Education's rules will help more than 550,000 people.

President Joe Biden's administration took action Wednesday to expand a student loan forgiveness program to help hundreds of thousands of public servants. Congressional Republicans quickly denounced it as an "abuse" of his authority.

"Today's announcement makes it clear," complained Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) — the top Republican on the House Education and Labor Committee. "Democrats are happy to allow the Biden administration to be judge, jury, and executioner if it pleases their progressive base. Which is ironic given the ridicule and shaming of the previous administration for simply following the disastrous law Democrats unilaterally created."

She was referring to an announcement by Education Secretary Miguel Cardona that his department would temporarily change the requirements under the 2007 Public Service Loan Forgiveness program to cover "past payments made on loans that would otherwise not qualify." The changes will allow those who work full-time serving the public through a government or nonprofit job to have their student loans forgiven — benefiting an estimated 550,000 people.

Fucking fascists' think what Biden did is an abuse of power.......

Let's see, some jerk inciting a insurrection while standing on podium raving like malignant narcissists lunatic and then having 147 fascists' sitting in congress and 8 sitting in the senate saying an election should be thrown out..

Some jerk sitting in the fascist party republican senate suspending the Constitution and not giving a former president the ability to have a judge placed on the US Supreme court for review

Two other federalist society judges put on the US Supreme court bench, had there investigation papers held and not released for the public to see who and what was behind them getting on the bench....
