Republicans in the Senate + Dem Senators Manchin, Sinema and Tester just voted to kill student debt relief and *raise* student debt balances by retroactively adding interest.

Businesses and wealthy gets millions in “loans” forgiven but nope absolutely not $20k in student loans. Somehow that’s not fair to all the other taxpayers.

Seems like retroactively adding interest should be illegal, since many would have continued paying during forbearance had interest been accruing. Probably a moot point since Biden will assuredly veto this.

Been a while since the GOP has let legality get in their way.
