Donald Trump has been quite busy in his first days as President of the United States. Last Friday, he petitioned the Supreme Court to freeze student debt. This was surprising, given that the Joe Biden administration forgave more than 5 million Americans their loans; the entry of Donald Trump will undoubtedly result in changes to education reform. Trump requested the court to delay all deadlines for filing briefs, leaving them in limbo indefinitely, which certainly caused doubt.
Donald Trump is ready for choices:
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has asked for a stay in a case that the Supreme Court will hear in March or April. If authorized, the matter will be placed on hold indefinitely. This is the government’s appeal of a ruling invalidating Biden’s policy of canceling student debt in situations of educational fraud. The Department of Justice under Trump also requested that three other environmental cases be halted. At the end of his administration, Biden authorized an extra $600 million in debt forgiveness for 8,000 students. It was a surprise, but Trump’s entrance presents concerns since he prioritizes the economy over everything else, so he will not be moved to compassion and will make tough decisions when required.
Biden’s idea is outdated:
Yes, this is the unpleasant truth for some; the prior president left a lot to talk about by forgiving debt, but with Trump’s return, debtors are concerned that such flexibility will no longer exist. According to Alex Beene, a financial literacy lecturer at the University of Tennessee, the Trump administration would most certainly cut these efforts, albeit the amount of this reduction remains to be seen. We must be informed of all decisions made by the President of the United States. Education is one of the country’s greatest strengths. Therefore, he should value it and keep it at the forefront.
