The epidemic is finished, said the silver-tongued Joe Biden twice in a recent 60 Minutes interview. The legal illusion that was meant to support Biden’s cancellation of $400 billion in student loans at a long-term cost to taxpayers of $1 trillion, including interest, was promptly dispelled with that statement.
The neutral Congressional Budget Office claims that Biden is attempting to impose the most costly executive order in American history, which would reverse all previous inflation control efforts.
Additionally, he explicitly confesses that the foundation for his actions is a falsehood. He did indeed say it. Simply take a look around to see whether the epidemic has truly ended. Every company has reopened. Social estrangement is a thing of the past. At this moment, donning a mask is a rare fashion statement that typically has more to do with politics than health.
The campaign team for Biden intended to cancel student loans during the election, but they struggled mightily to come up with a legal justification. Ultimately, they crammed it into a statute that was designed to cancel student loans for military personnel deployed to fight in a war during a national emergency. The HEROES Act was the name of the relevant statute.
Biden’s initial attempt to hand away government-owned property relied on the legal fiction of an ongoing national emergency, which is debt. His urgency was meant to be the pandemic. Biden has now acknowledged that the emergency is ended. His attempts at the big giveaway should also be unsuccessful as a result.
The narrative ought to finish there, but of course it doesn’t.
Unfortunately, Biden plans to squander public money on years of drawn-out litigation to defend this election-year bribe to the most privileged, wealthy, and economically capable elements of society. Sadly, this incentive is paid for at the expense of others who have already repaid their student debts or were not able to attend college. It is rubbish as a rule. But it’s also blatantly against the law.
Imagine in your thoughts one of your country’s heroes being summoned to duty when it is most needed. Imagine a 22-year-old gender studies graduate who finds out after graduation that they have an emergency on their hands: This degree has no value at all yet still costs upwards of $100,000. Compare that to the image. Consider that. Is this individual worthy of assistance? Objectively, no, and definitely not in accordance with this statute.
It doesn’t take a legal genius to see that the rule of law and the separation of powers don’t mean much if a president can give away government property or spend money in this way on the basis of a purely pretext that even he publicly knows is a lie.
Under the guise of an emergency, Biden is attempting to usurp Congress’ exclusive authority to dispose of “property belonging to the United States,” which is provided for in Article IV, Section 3 of the Constitution.
The constitutional order is under danger as a result of Biden’s activities in this respect. As a result, they pose a considerably larger threat to American democracy than unimportant but irksome problems like election skepticism or disruptive behavior in the Capitol. Biden is acting like a despot, abusing his authority and breaking the law. He abuses his position of trust. He needs to cease what he’s doing.
