It was "shot down" because congress was not allocating the funds he wanted to spend to enact the relief. How dare the court actually uphold the constitution in respect to checks and balances and not let the president use executive power to supersede congressional debates and hearings.

It's so disingenuous to fight for something because you find it morally right in idea without understanding every nuance of the path it follows. I'd like young adults relieved of the debt economy we're building just as much as anyone else, but not at the expense of our institutional sanctity. Bad precedent is a slope.

E: meanwhile our dipshit congressmen that wouldn't allow the funds allocated are allowing 40 billion to foreign aid and repeatedly fueling our debt economy. Unironically indict Congress on corruption charges.

40 billion to foreign aid

It's disingenuous to frame the best defense budget ROI we've seen in decades as "fueling our debt economy".

Bad precedent is a slope

I'm not sure you're very up do date on current events of the last century if you think this is setting a precedent.

I've yet to see any return of investment from an entire foreign industrial collapse but sure. I guess the projections of global economic growth going from 5% down to 0.3% is just my imagination.
