The Biden administration said Friday that is using existing student loan forgiveness programs to cancel another round of student debt, totaling $7.4 billion for 277,000 borrowers.
Under President Joe Biden, the Department of Education has made it easier for some specific groups of borrowers, like public sector workers, to qualify for loan forgiveness. It also launched a new repayment plan that creates a shorter pathway to loan forgiveness for many low-income borrowers – and is at issue in at least two legal challenges from Republican-led states.
In total, the Biden administration has authorized the cancellation of $153 billion in student loan debt for nearly 4.3 million people. That’s more than 9% of all outstanding federal student loan debt.
The lesser of two evils is still evil. It’s cool he’s forgiving student loans. But there’s no sugar coating the mediocre job he’s done and the impending doom his (the Democrats) apathy is about to impart on us.
Neoliberal genocidal lust will be our undoing. Simple compassion for human lives would easily win Biden this election, but he’s willing to throw it all away for his “Israel First” policy.
Don’t like how they’re handling Israel and their genocidal efforts but fuck Trump and his fascist attempts to end Democracy. Biden is the only option.
Right. I HOPE anyone pissing and moaning about Biden right now is a plant because if not the other shoe is about to drop if Trump wins and its going strait up their ass.
