We knew that SCOTUS was going to block student loan relief

We are not surprised by the Supreme Court’s decision to block President Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan. However, it is unfortunate because not only would this relief have helped to reduce student loan balances, but it would also have improved our economy, resulting in increased consumer spending, and financial stability.
