A Question

 Everyone is talking about President Biden's relief of student loans for certain students.  People on the right are complaining that it isn't fair to the people who either didn't go to college, or who paid their student loans.  They are correct.  People on the righ are also point out that it will only add to the inflation we are already experiencing.  Also true.  People on the Left are ecstatic that this will help them in tough election situations.  That could be true too.

However, nobody is asking the question under what authority the President can just decide on his own to spend $300 billion dollars?  Was this authority snuck into some omious,,,er... omnibus bill?  You know, one of those 1000 page monstrosities that now one reads before voting on it because the Constitution includes a "good and plenty" clause?  I am asking, because I don't know.  But it bothers me that nobody seems to be asking the question.
