Listen to @jonathanjmcgee discussing the impact of the #SCOTUS decision to block student loan forgiveness. Elections have consequences!

The SCOTUS ruling on affirmative action and student loan debt forgiveness was devastating. As someone with significant loan debt, it’s unfortunate that not only will we not see economic relief, but we will simultaneously lose access to a quality education based on race.
A student who has $150,000 in student loan debt reacts to the Supreme Court decision to strike down Pres. Biden's student debt relief plan. "Higher education is just too expensive and so it's a bill I consider now a bill for life, and that shouldn't be the case."
