Although courts have already ruled that President Biden's attempt to unilaterally decree the forgiveness of a portion of student loan debt is not legal, plans are underway to reissue the illegal decree with a new twist. Students who major in studies that provide few opportunities for remunerative employment will be given "first dibs" on loan forgiveness.
Secretary of Education Miguel Angel Cardona explained "there's little sense in forgiving the debt of students who major in science or engineering. Grads with degrees in these subjects are in great demand in the private sector and will likely be paid well. In contrast, a student with a degree in transgender studies faces a much bleaker future because there is little to no need for such people in the private sector."
"Our plan in the short term is to free the bearers of useless degrees from having to repay their debt," Cardona said. "In the meantime, we need to create new laws and regulations that would make it mandatory for private businesses to employ these people to help them navigate the complex social equity requirements that the new laws and regulations will implement."

The practice of granting loans to illegal students really must cease
Ooh, so to get the voting bribe you are gonna hafta agree that you partied/rioted for years to get a “useless degree”.
OK, let’s publish the list. Line up over there on the left under the sign: “useless waste of 4+ years for toilet paper degree”. Go ahead. “Um, your name , please. Parents’ address also.”
And, someone please fund a small group to add this info to their social media links” “Joe Smith standing here to receive taxpayer $$ for what he admits is a useless degree.”
Oh, you object to attempts to shame you? Poor baby. Imagine how your parents have felt for half a decade. Welcome to adulthood.
Let us subsidize the useless degrees. We need a lot more these people.
No way we could subsidize anything useful!
The insanity of this idea is almost too much to absorb. In effect the govenment will be giving a free education to people who will have no job prospects when they graduate.
Look for more students in majors like Elizabethan poetry while engineers and scientists will have to pay back their loans simply because they entered a field that has the potential to give them a living wage.
Where do they get these idiots? Oh, I get it. They graduated with degrees in Elizabethan poetry and the govenment is their employer of last resort.
