Very RICH hypocrisy.
So she is a lawyer from a very expensive school earning plenty,
they bought a over $1M home, but she wants the 87% of citizens
who did not take out expensive school loans to pay for her choices.

NY Democrat complains about her student debt after SCOTUS ruling, gets
slammed for million dollar home
Former New York state Sen. Alessandra Biaggi, a Democrat, said she owes
$206,000 in student loan debt

Supreme Court blocks Biden's student loan forgiveness plan
Fox News' Shannon Bream provides breaking details on the Supreme Court's
decision, and constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley provides
analysis.

Former New York state Democrat Sen. Alessandra Biaggi took to social
media Friday to discuss the pricey student loans she had amassed during
law school, despite purchasing a $1.14 million home last summer.

"In 2012, I graduated from Fordham Law School with $180,000 is student
loan debt," Biaggi wrote in a tweet. "I’ve been paying loans for 11
years. Even paid two of them off completely."

"In 2023, my balance is $206,000," added Biaggi, who represented New
York's 34th district during her three-year tenure in the state Senate.

The remarks from Biaggi — who posed an unsuccessful primary challenge to
former Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, D-N.Y., in the 2022 midterm elections
— came nearly one year after it was reported that she and her husband
had purchased and moved into a $1,137,500 home located in the state's
17th Congressional District, which she had hoped to represent in Congress.

CORI BUSH LASHES OUT AT SUPREME COURT JUSTICES AFTER STUDENT LOAN
DECISION: ‘LINING THEIR OWN POCKETS’

Biaggi, 36, and her husband, Nathaniel Koloc, puchased the
three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in an upscale suburban area in July
2022, the New York Post reported last year.

The Post also noted that the house was a significant upgrade over
Biaggi's previous residence, a $691,006 condo in Pelham, New York, where
she was registered to vote.

Biaggi's comments followed a decision from the Supreme Court to strike
down President Biden's student loan-forgiveness plan, with the high
court concluding that the White House lacked the legal authorization to
provide billions in federal loan forgiveness for borrowers, absent clear
authorization from Congress.

The move by the Supreme Court will prevent more than 40 million low- and
middle-income borrowers from receiving $10,000 in federal loan
forgiveness under the Biden administration's plan — and is a major
defeat for the president on one of his key 2020 election campaign promises.

Several social media users were quick to point out that Biaggi should
have paid off her student loans before purchasing the expensive home
located in Bedford, New York.

"You need Dave Ramsey, not Joe Biden," Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow
at the Manhattan Institute, told Biaggi in a tweet. Ramsey is a
prominent radio host who offers financial advice.

Responding to Biaggi, another user wrote: "You signed the loan
agreement. Didn’t you read it?"

"She could afford to buy a $1 million home but not pay off $180K of
debt," Greg Price, communications director for the State Freedom Caucus
Network, noted in a tweet.

Offering his perspective on the issue, retired marine and talk show host
Jesse Kelly wrote in a tweet: "BREAKING: Woman spends more than she makes."

Originally announced by Biden from the White House last August, the
debt-forgiveness plan would have canceled $10,000 of federal student
loan debt for certain borrowers making less than $125,000 per year, and
up to $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients.

Her student loan balance is higher now than it was when she graduated.
So for 11 years, she hasn't even been paying enough to cover the
interest payments, much less pay down the principal--while she chose to
buy a million-dollar home. That's on her. Personally, I think she could
have benefitted fro...

When I married my wife she had substantial student loans. After a year
of paying their payments, I realized the payment ‘s were set up to take
20 years to pay it off. I then sold our home, that I had before
marriage, downsized and paid off the loans with my equity from the sale.
Sure it was a sa...

$206,000 of student loans??? Where did she go to college at? If you are
going to go to that expensive of a college you better be prepared to pay
for it and not borrow money. Its like someone making minimum wage goes
out and buys a Ferrari. They will never be able to pay it off.

I spent 5 years in college and personally paid for all my expenses plus
paid off all my school debts within one year. I was a private in the US
Army when I paid off my final loan. Worked summers before and during
college to pay most of the costs as I went to school. Parents paid none
of my expen...

The same for me. Four years in the air Force which gave me $50 a
semester and I paid all the rest from working full time and then going
to night school.

She signed and agreed to the loan so in October the payments will
continue. No different than a home mortgage or car loan, make payments
until the loan is paid in full. No tears here.

This one of the many reasons student loan debt should not be forgiven in
a blanket program. People who incurred the debt and can afford to repay
it, should be held to their obligations.

.... not only that, how is it my concern when any person takes out debt
for any reason? If you want the house, car or educational loan then, it
is your responsibility, not mine to have a plan on how to fulfil your
obligations to the contract you signed! I don't see this as complicated
at all!

If you take out a learn, you have to repay it. That's the deal. If
young people expect to never have to pay back their debts, our economy
is going to crash. 2008 rings a bell.

Tuition is out of control, but forcing tax payers to pay other people’s
student debt when they are struggling to survive and pay their own debt
is not the answer. Also, a President is not authorized to make such
decision.

Colleges and the federal government encourage students to borrow and go
heavily into debt. Colleges, in turn, raise their costs exponentially
because they know students will be willing to take on so much debt. But
they have little life experience and responsibilities when they take out
so many loan...

Tuition is out of control bc people are willing to pay. There are plenty
of other (better, cheaper, and in some cases, both) options besides

I didn't have any debt when I got out of school. Of course I hit

my own lawn business when I was 10 with neighborhood kids). I worked
through High School doing any construction job that I could get. Then I
