Rules of the land

Biden's decision to forgive the student loans of the rich is one of the worst decisions he has made, and there have been many. In years past, we see many have worked their way through college or parents have paid their way. However, many have recognized they have an obligation to repay money they borrow, and it taught them responsibility. Many did not go to college, but could use the money if Biden would want to send it to them.

When I was in school, we studied the rules of the land, and as I remember, the president has no authority to spend money. Only congress can authorize spending, and the president has the option to approve or veto.

Hmm, doesn't it seem strange that this decision was made right before the fall election? His ratings have hit rock bottom and he is attempting in every way to get all people dependent on the government.
