PLAINTIFF IN LAWSUIT OPPOSING BIDEN STUDENT DEBT FORGIVENESS HAD PPP LOAN FORGIVEN
The lawsuit, aimed at ending Biden’s debt forgiveness program, is being bankrolled by a well-connected right-wing group.

THE PLAINTIFF IN a lawsuit seeking to overturn President Joe Biden’s student debt forgiveness program has herself been a beneficiary of debt cancellation, in the form of a Paycheck Protection Program business loan worth over twice the maximum amount covered under Biden’s program.

Myra Brown, one of two plaintiffs in the Texas lawsuit, owns Desert Star Enterprises Inc. Desert Star, which appears to be a sign-making business, was granted a $48,000 loan, of which $47,996 was forgiven on April 27, 2022. By comparison, Biden’s student debt forgiveness program provides a maximum of $20,000 in forgiveness if the person seeking relief received a federal Pell Grant and $10,000 if it wasn’t a Pell Grant. Brown argues in her case that she is being harmed by Biden’s debt relief order because she is not eligible for it because her student loans were originally funded by private companies.

Brown’s case is one of a flurry of right-wing lawsuits aimed at ending Biden’s student debt forgiveness program. Though many have been dismissed due a lack of standing, this one has not. A Donald Trump-appointed judge, Mark T. Pittman of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, has indicated he wants to fast track it.

1. These people truly are the worst.

2. If Biden were to pass a student loan forgiveness program for PRIVATE COMPANY loans,

then the case would definitely have no standing. And a LOT of folks with student loans would be happy (including the multitude of parents who co signed for those loans)!!
WIW-WIN!!

3. So if she wins

Does that mean her PPP loan becomes unforgiven? Make her pay that back, too
