"I’ve been paying loans for 11 years. Even paid two of them off completely."..."In 2023, my balance is $206,000," added Biaggi, who represented New York's 34th district during her three-year tenure in the state Senate.... .....The remarks from Biaggi — who posed an unsuccessful primary challenge to former Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, D-N.Y., in the 2022 midterm elections — came nearly one year after it was reported that she and her husband had purchased and moved into a $1,137,500 home located in the state's 17th Congressional District, which she had hoped to represent in Congress.....Biaggi, 36, and her husband, Nathaniel Koloc, puchased the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in an upscale suburban area in July 2022, the New York Post reported last year..... "You need Dave Ramsey, not Joe Biden," Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, told Biaggi in a tweet....Originally announced by Biden from the White House last August, the debt-forgiveness plan would have canceled $10,000 of federal student loan debt for certain borrowers making less than $125,000 per year, and up to $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients.... https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ny-democrat-complains-student-debt-scotus-ruling-gets-slammed-million-dollar-home Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blue Horseshoe 348 Posted July 2, 2023 Biden snaps at reporter after student debt handout defeat at Supreme Court: 'I didn't give any false hope' ....President Biden snapped at Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich on Friday after she pressed him over why he gave "false hope" to Americans who believed they would receive a student loan handout by his executive order, which was struck down by the Supreme Court.....On Friday, the court ruled in a 6-3 decision that federal law does not allow Biden's secretary of education to cancel more than $430 billion in student loan debt.... Following his remarks reacting to the ruling, Heinrich asked the president why he gave millions of borrowers "false hope," citing his past comments doubting his own authority to enact the order without Congress. ....."I didn't give any false hope....The question was whether or not I would do even more than was requested. What I did I thought it was appropriate and was able to be done and would get done...I didn't give false hope, but the Republicans snatched away the hope that they were given. And it's real, real hope...." .....Biden himself cast doubt on his own ability to implement the student loan debt handout without congressional approval, saying in February 2021, "I don’t think I have the authority to do it by signing [with] the pen."....."The Secretary’s plan canceled roughly $430 billion of federal student loan balances, completely erasing the debts of 20 million borrowers and lowering the median amount owed by the other 23 million from $29,400 to $13,600," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority. "Six States sued, arguing that the HEROES Act does not authorize the loan cancellation plan. We agree." .....The majority opinion also included comments made by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who said in July 2021, "People think that the President of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness. He does not."....The order, dubbed the HEROES Act, involved federal government providing up to $10,000 in debt relief — and up to $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients — for people who make less than $125,000 a year.... https://www.foxnews.com/media/biden-snaps-reporter-student-debt-handout-defeat-supereme-court-false-hope Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
