    There’s no standing in any state for being given something for free. It’s not a bad counter argument to say they should be rejecting these cases outright.

    • There’s no standing in any state for being given something for free.

      So this would be why a student getting debt relief won’t have standing to sue against the D of Ed saying that the relief is harming them…

      It’s not a bad counter argument to say they should be rejecting these cases outright.

      Have you read the article? The lawsuit is because an agency of Missouri - and thus the State of Missouri - is losing money due to the debt relief. (Or at least, so they claim - whether or not they’re actually losing money is something that’s up for debate.)

      When the argument is,

      “I’m losing money because”

      A bad counterargument is,

      “You can’t sue because you were getting something for free”

      Why? Because it doesn’t address or refute the original statement.

      A good counterargument is,

      “No, actually, you weren’t losing money, because those negative numbers are just the result of an accounting trick but aren’t actual losses”
