SCOTUS hears loan forgiveness today

You started a thread about a legal case but now don't want to talk about the law but about what you think is "fair".

Anyway, everyone knows there were all kinds of government programs that financially aided people during the pandemic.

Just to get on same page, the Justices are charged to guarantee ‘equal justice under the law.’ In their deliberations, they naturally must consider the fair doctrines, definitions, concepts, in reaching conclusions which apply fair and equal treatment under the law.
Now, remove the word fair from my sentence, and the sentence still applies. So, I wish he had avoided using that word ‘fair’, which has upset hell out of the liberal-minded.
All that being said, many people have incurred debt and despair due to covid. Are you saying college grads are the only ones that need help? The other ‘kinds of government programs’ are just that, Marauder. Other kinds. Not THIS kind. We are talking about this kind. So you are incorrect to compare. The reasoning behind the statute of which we speak was helping (people) who are affected by Covid. Why do you not speak directly to this issue?
Why don’t liberal posters answer questions directly?

Is it better to help absolutely no one if they can't help everyone?

If a firefighter can't save everyone from a burning building, should he not save anyone?

Ahhhh, GRASSHOPPER!

But Master, what if the firefighter CAN save them all equally.? For instance, if a govt has a fund to help it’s citizens in danger, would it not help them all equally. ?

You're saying that lower-income people being crushed by student loans should NOT be helped unless higher income people who can pay for their loans are also assisted. Right?

In that case, should Oprah also qualify for Medicaid to keep it "fair"?

I don’t know medicaid requirements. Please not send me a link on it.
First, take income, as a factor, an element, out of the equation. All of this has nothing to do with income. If it did, the money would not have been given to grad students, but instead to folks who are really suffering.
Then, rethink the reason for singling out grad students. You are getting close.
