Despite the fact that student loans are completely f'd and something needs to be done ab out this, I think this is the riht call. The HEROS act was not meant to be used like this.

Congress needs to do this, not the president...

Any government or legal institution that's unelected with lifetime appointments is illegitimate. I said what I said.

Well isn't it the responsibility of the people to be invested in voting?

When people complain about issues with our representation at any level of the US government, those issues are just symptoms of the root cause that the populace is not engaged in voting.

According to Ballotpedia, non presidential election years have a 20-30% lower turnout than presidential election years which only see about 60% turnout.
