> But did the average person who was told their debt was going to be forgiven know that? How does that matter to the question if it was a mistake? It's still a mistake to trust the wrong people, even if you didn't know better at the time. This seems like a good time to learn the lesson "don't count your chickens before they've hatched (even if someone tells you to)." > ...how much blame to place on the administration versus the regressives in the court, but dismissing out of hand the human suffering caused by the reversal by going "they should have known better" is patently evil. "Regressives"? "Human suffering"? "Patently evil"? That's, frankly, a completely immature and utterly ridiculous position to take on this. If someone robbed a bank and gifted you money from the robbery, would you call the cops "evil" for taking the money back, because of all the "suffering" it would cause you? I get it, you really wanted student loans to be forgiven, but that doesn't make the people who oppose what you want "evil" or even bad.
