Supreme Court blocks Biden's student loan forgiveness plan
Fox News' Shannon Bream provides breaking details on the Supreme Court's decision, and constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley provides analysis.

Former New York state Democrat Sen. Alessandra Biaggi took to social media Friday to
discuss the pricey student loans she had amassed during law school, despite purchasing
a $1.14 million home last summer.

"In 2012, I graduated from Fordham Law School with $180,000 is student loan debt,"
Biaggi wrote in a tweet. "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

home located in the state's 17th
in Congress.
posed an unsuccessful primary challenge to former Rep.
the 2022 midterm elections — came nearly one year after
husband had purchased and moved into a $1,137,500
Congressional District, which she had hoped to represent

DECISION: ‘LINING THEIR OWN POCKETS’

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.

The Post also noted that the house was a significant upgrade over Biaggi's previous
residence, a $691,006 condo in Pelham, New York, where she was registered to vote.

Biaggi's comments followed a decision from the Supreme Court to strike down President
Biden's student loan-forgiveness plan, with the high court concluding that the White House
lacked the legal authorization to provide billions in federal loan forgiveness for borrowers,
absent clear authorization from Congress.

The move by the Supreme Court will prevent more than 40 million low- and middle-income
borrowers from receiving $10,000 in federal loan forgiveness under the Biden
administration's plan — and is a major defeat for the president on one of his key 2020
election campaign promises.

Several social media users were quick to point out that Biaggi should have paid off her
student loans before purchasing the expensive home located in Bedford, New York.

DOWN STUDENT LOAN HANDOUT

"You need Dave Ramsey, not Joe Biden," Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow at the
Manhattan Institute, told Biaggi in a tweet. Ramsey is a prominent radio host who offers
financial advice.

Responding to Biaggi, another user wrote: "You signed the loan agreement. Didn’t you read
it?"

"She could afford to buy a $1 million home but not pay off $180K of debt," Greg Price,
communications director for the State Freedom Caucus Network, noted in a tweet .

Offering his perspective on the issue, retired marine and talk show host Jesse Kelly wrote
in a tweet "BREAKING: Woman spends more than she makes."
:

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.
