I genuinely wish the Dems played hardball and played dirty the ways Rs do. The Secretary of Ed should've just canceled #studentloans under an emergency act and then let the Rs whine about and try to have it undone. That's what they would've done, knowing that once those loans were gone they were never coming back.

That's not how the federal government works, though.

If an authority issues an invalid order canceling loans, then the loans aren't actually cancelled, the students still owe the money, and then many of them will be in a really tough spot if they stop making payments.

The Secretary of Ed has no more authority to make that order than I do, and the order would have exactly as much impact as if I did.

There's no undoing an illegal order. It was never valid in the first place, by definition.

@DrPsyBuffy

Well then what is your point?
Yeah I don't know what you are trying to say when talking about undoing and order that would have been invalid in the first place. There's no such thing.

If the order wasn't valid, it wasn't valid, and at most it will just screw over a whole bunch of people who acted based on misinformation about their financial obligations.

Which really screws them over.
