there possibly could be on this. it adds up to taxpayer money, doesn t it, bill? this newest roll-out of the plan will cost taxpayers $475 billion over a 10-year budget window according to the budget model. president biden putting out a campaign-style video talking about all the student debt forgiveness he has taken while announcing people can sign up for the saving on a valuable education plan or save plan. president biden: we have already approved over $116 billion in debt cancellation for 3.4 million americans no matter how many lawsuits, challenges or roadblocks the republican elected officials or special interests try to put in our way. because the u.s. supreme court shot down the larger $440 billion plan in one chunk, the president has been trying to find ways to add it up in pieces. this particular program requires that people paying student loans only pay 10% of their income after housing and food costs. the president lowered that percentage to 5%.
only pay 10% of their income after food and housing on student loans. the president has reduced the number to 5% if you make 32,000 or less, you pay nothing on student loans each month. the president unveiling this plan in a campaign-style video. say it again. as long as i m president, my administration will never stop fighting to deliver relief to borrowers and bring the promise of college to more americans. and that s a commitment. the president touting he has already forgiven 116 billion in student loans for 3.4 million americans. now, this confluence of programs comes after the u.s. supreme court rejected the president s one shot plan to forgive 440 billion in student loans. all these people living their everyday lives who are struggling to do the right thing and joe biden is not showing up for them. i would venture to say america is not showing up for them. critics are saying it s vote buying, especially now that the
patrick wright is vice president of legal affairs at the mckin that you center and he joins us now. good morning to you, patrick. good morning. thanks for having me on. ainsley: we just reported that the u.s. supreme court already struck down this student loan forgiveness. what s the difference? why do you need to file this suit? what they have done in the budget act they agreed not to use the hero s act from 9/11 and that s what the supreme court struck down. this is their second best attempt where they are trying to use the higher education act and just press releases to knock off 39 billion and then potentially another 116 billion on top of that. ainsley: yeah. and 475 billion over the course of 10 years according to wharton. now, your argument is congress needs to decide this. not the administration? that is correct. it s just basic civics. with an amount of money like this, you need clear direction from congress. that s what was decided in the biden vs. nebraska case by
years with stoont loans they re saying there were administrative mistakes that were made. that these people should have actually been paid off. their loan should have been paid off and they re trying to write wrongs from the past. but it is really hard to get details on that and a supreme court said you can t rewrite the whole substitute and forgive $34 billion and write it off. what the administration is ring aing about this 39 billion is there were mistakes that were made and they re correcting them. that said there are already members of congress who said we will see you in court. so it s going to get the legal treatment as well. this administration has promised over 116 billion dollars in loan forgiveness. since they took office we ll see. but we have at least one member of congress who says over her dead body hell or high water she will start this war so you have a to court we go. pete: off to your show at 2 p.m. we ll be watching who do you have on it? former admiral john kirby
