Letter to the editor: Biden playing 'king' with student loan debt move
In January 2021 President Joe Biden swore an oath of office to protect our Constitution. The Constitution clearly states our Congress controls coinage and the power of the purse. Biden is now playing “king.” The Supreme Court told him he did not have the authority to forgive student loan debt. So now he is wrangling another way to have all taxpayers pay for people in the educated class.
He says he is helping people — but only those who are educated. By his behavior, he is demonstrating power over both the Legislature and judicial branches — contrary to his oath to equal branches of government.
He has been examining the digital dollar transformation through Projects Lithium and Hamilton. Remember, Congress controls coinage and the purse (U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 8). Biden seems to be ignoring our Constitution to do what he wants regardless of our foundational documents. Stay tuned.
