Here is an excerpt from the majority opinion (emphasis mine):
>The “ ‘**economic and political significance**’ ” of the Secretary’s action is **staggering** by any measure. West Virginia, 597 U. S., at ___ (slip op., at 17) (quoting Brown & Williamson, 529 U. S., at 160). Practically every student borrower benefits, regardless of circumstances. A budget model issued by the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania estimates that the program will cost taxpayers “between **$469 billion and $519 billion,**” depending on the total number of borrowers ultimately covered. App. 108. **That is ten times the “economic impact” that we found significant in concluding that an eviction moratorium implemented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention triggered analysis under the major questions doctrine.** Alabama Assn., 594 U. S., at ___ (slip op., at 6). It amounts to nearly
>one-third of the Government’s $1.7 trillion in annual discretionary spending. Congressional Budget Office, The Federal Budget in Fiscal Year 2022. There is no serious dispute that the Secretary claims the authority to exercise control over “a significant portion of the American economy.” Utility Air Regulatory Group v. EPA, 573 U. S. 302, 324 (2014) (quoting Brown & Williamson, 529 U. S., at 159). The dissent is correct that **this is a case about one branch of government arrogating to itself power belonging to another. But it is the Executive seizing the power of the Legislature.** The Secretary’s assertion of administrative authority has “conveniently enabled [him] to enact a program”
The economic impact here is trillions instead of billions, and the case is about the same thing. The Executive branch trying to seize the power of the Legislature.

They’ve given him all the power already. There’s nothing left for them to give. John Roberts could dissolve the court today and NOTHING would change.

Because his track record with finances is incredible /s

This Supreme Court is beyond corrupt, just like the GOP. They need to be removed from office but sadly that seems fucking impossible with the current people in power. I really didn’t think I’d live to see America collapse and democracy die but here we are

After six bankruptcies, at least two of which involved casinos that have a built-in advantage, why would anyone want to give him control over the economy.

Looking a lot like fascism.
>The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.

so dear fellow Americans… expect 0% interest rate and 100% inflation. Oh, I forgot..his percentage goals are in the 1000’s. Remember he promised to lower presc drug prices by 1,500%???

You betcha! Becasue he’s an economic genius!
(…How many times has he gone bankrupt?)

Third part/protest voters take a bow. Trump couldn’t have done it without you.

Going so far right that you end up seizing the means of production
Well done WSJ and the billionaire’s class who wanted a Trump tax cut!
You got crippling tarrifs and the government buying up companies like Intel to bail them out

Giving full control of economy to Trump would be like… well giving Trump autorithy over anything really, I can’t think of anyone less qualified at anything than Trump would be.

That happens and the treasury bonds will be dumped. USD would become worthless do to never ending printing of money.
U.S. is going to see The Great Depression times ten.

Bankrupted four casinos. Owning a casino is like printing money. Now he can actually print money while he bankrupts us.

Nope, not a dictator move at all.
I wonder if all the people who said „no not Nazism“ or „no not fascism“ or „no not dictatorship“ feel stupid at this point?

Just fucking crickets from the „economically conservative“ crowd or even just „moderately conservative“ crowd.
They really all converted to the Christo-Fascist Handmaid’s Tale ideology?

Hmmm , small government? Free market? All lies, until they get control.

Cool story bro. They’ll do it cause they’re corrupt pieces of shit. Just like Trump. So where are the Epstein files?
joefred111 on
The guy who never ran a successful business, declared bankruptcy a dozen times, and couldn’t run a casino wars economic control of an entire country?
What could go wrong?

„Total Control“, AKA „I want to use a nation’s economy as my own personal wealth“
Just like a dictator’s paradise.
This is going beyond insane.

They already did… it’s not going well.
He will control our economy like how he had put his businesses into bankruptcy.
We should be really afraid!
There should not even be a question here after [Biden v. Nebraska](https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf/22-506_nmip.pdf?inline=1). Power of the purse. Major Questions Doctrine. Done.
