In a recent television appearance, Senator Lindsey Graham expressed his strong disapproval of President Joe Biden's decision to forgive student debt, calling it "beyond lawless and beyond dangerous." Graham argued that there is no provision in the law that allows the president to forgive student loans and voiced concerns about the burden falling on hardworking individuals who didn't attend college.

The Biden-Harris administration has already approved $167 billion in student debt forgiveness as of May, aiding approximately 4.75 million borrowers across the country. However, Graham's fervent opposition to the relief program disregards the fact that the middle-class Americans he mentioned are already shouldering the burden of Trump-era tax cuts benefiting millionaires and corporations.

In response to Graham's claims, Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream questioned why Congress, including the senator himself, had not taken definitive action to address the issues at hand. Bream pointed out that Biden had acknowledged the problems and suggested that Congress, as lawmakers, should have a role in finding solutions.

Meanwhile, Governor Doug Burgum joined the criticism of President Biden, claiming that he is acting like a dictator by bypassing Congress and issuing executive orders. Burgum argued that Biden, unlike any other president, has been excessively by-passing Congress through various executive actions on matters such as immigration and student loans. The governor emphasized that none of these actions have originated from Congress.

The accusation of a dictatorship drew a response from CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins during an interview on Sunday's State of the Union. Collins noted that while Burgum may disagree with Biden's policies, it is not appropriate to label him as a dictator since he was democratically elected.

Burgum defended his use of the term by citing Biden's propensity for bypassing Congress and implementing his own policy agenda. The governor highlighted Biden's response to the Supreme Court ruling against his student loan forgiveness plan, where he vowed to find an alternative pathway to achieve his goals. Burgum argued that this disregard for the other two branches of government demonstrated a double standard and was an attempt to push an ideological agenda.

Collins pointed out that Biden has signed significantly fewer executive orders compared to former President Trump during the equivalent time span. Collins highlighted that Trump signed 220 executive orders while Biden has only signed 139.

The ongoing debate surrounding President Biden's actions on student debt forgiveness continues to garner attention from politicians and media outlets. Critics like Graham and Burgum argue that Biden's use of executive power undermines the legislative branch, while others defend the president's efforts to address pressing issues impacting millions of Americans burdened by student loan debt. As the discussions persist, the divide between Republicans and Democrats on this issue is likely to remain pronounced.
