Biden’s remarks were made regarding his student loan relief program.
In January, Biden announced that $5 billion in student loans would be forgiven starting this month — even though the Supreme Court blocked him from doing so back in June.
Fox Business reported:
Student loan forgiveness has come to millions even as the Supreme Court blocked Biden’s original debt forgiveness plan last June. The original plan would have canceled up to $10,000 in federal loans per borrower making less than $125,000 a year (couples making less than $250,000) and up to $20,000 per borrower for those who used Pell Grants in college, eliminating about $441 billion in outstanding student debt.
CBS News also detailed the student loan relief plan:
Student loan relief is coming to another 74,000 Americans, with President Biden on Friday announcing an additional $5 billion in debt forgiveness for borrowers including teachers, nurses and firefighters.
The announcement marks the latest round of debt cancellations since the Supreme Court last summer blocked Mr. Biden’s student loan forgiveness program, and brings to $136.6 billion forgiven for more than 3.7 million Americans.
The discharges are the result of fixes made by the administration to income-driven repayment (IDR) forgiveness and Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF), with the Department of Education saying that payments are now being accounted for more accurately.
The Biden administration a week ago said that, starting in February, people with less than $12,000 in student loans and who have been making payments for at least 10 years would get their remaining loan balance erased. Borrowers also have to be enrolled in the White House’s new Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) repayment plan.
Biden’s brazen claim mirrors a post he made on X after announcing the program:
I promised to ease student debt for millions of folks. The Supreme Court blocked me, but it didn’t stop me.
I found another way to help more than 3.7 million people—teachers, nurses, police officers, firefighters—with over $130 billion in relief.

Social media users were quick to criticize Biden’s “odd flex”…
Telling people how you avoided a Supreme Court ruling while going after Texas for ignoring a Supreme Court ruling is an odd flex.

So, you’re going on X and posting to hundreds of millions of people about how you broke the law after the Supreme Court told you that what you were trying to do was illegal?
Am I getting this right?
You’re bragging to the American people on how you broke the law?— ZNO 🇺🇸 (@therealZNO) January 31, 2024
Of course, with the election just months away, it’s only reasonable that Biden would do everything in his power to get as many votes as possible…even it means doing something unconstitutional to buy them.
As this X user pointed out:
Joe Biden is finally admitting that it’s unconstitutional to cancel student loan debt.
Then why is he still trying to do it?
Because Biden is trying to buy votes just like he did in the midterm.
And just like in the midterms students will afterwards learn they were duped.
