It is the rich and powerful who get benefits from state and federal governments while the majority of people are at the mercy of corporate funded political controls. Every market in the US is controlled by a shrinking pool of corporations owned by the same handful of oligarchs, who sit on each other boards, ditch their tax responsibilities and pay off legislators to get their giveaways and bailouts passed.
Nowhere in the Constitution does it give the supreme court the power to determine constitutionality. It is a power they took on themselves, making them unelected kings. The final arbiters, making laws and taking away rights as their religious dogma and political whims move them.
In addition to claiming powers they are not constitutional given, they make rulings based on religious superstitions and ignore science. They ignore settled law and precident whenever it suits their overriding religiousity and take soft bribes and hide political funding to feather their nests.
Musk is awarded a $2.9 Billion federal contract while our college students become profit centers for banks and servicers, and Congress can't even give railway workers any sick leave. No other developed country in the world uses their students as profit centers like the US. No other developed country let's their citizens be terrorized by profit seeking gun manufacturers. Developed countries don't burdened their sick and elderly with ever more expensive for-profit regional medical monopolies and never ending compounding student loan interest that can never, ever be discharged. (And soon to be apparent, not even by a president.)
Though I have to wonder if the religiously inspired court would hear the case if Trump had forgiven student loans.
Not much of a democracy, more of an oligarchy perhaps even headed towards a theocracy.
So will religion rule the Supremes in this decision to force students to pay until they die or will their hateful political whims control them? Either way it will hurt the majority of students and probably make some already rich bankers even richer.
Yeah, democracy if you can keep it. Obviously the US can't.
