Damn god bless. For being like uhmmm...old I guess and just vaguely unpopular for unspecific reasons Biden's domestic policy has actually been great and really effective at chipping away at the big boys
Biden is old and probably on a steep cognitive decline. Who cares? Vote for the administration, not the man. The Biden Administration has proven highly competent. Anybody remember the clown show of s tier morons and fascists we had during the Trump administration? They set this country back decades.
This is my take. People are so obsessed with the two person race (or the media certainly positions it that way) that they forget that when you get a president, you get their people too.
Remember Ajit Pai? Yeah, people like him are coming back if Trump wins another term.
A lot of it is Palestine, many people are very upset about that. It's a legitimate opinion a person can hold.
Yes I agree my fellow left-wing comrade, vote Trump4Palestine. From the river to the sea, Israel will be great again, we have nothing to lose but the ability to do effective real world progressive reform, me and all my friends here like John from the Orange Oblast in California agree 👍
One day they will draw my name from the hat of forgiveness, right?
We can hope
Did you put your name in the goblet of forgiveness?
I may have stored the paperwork next to my hopes and dreams.
This is great news! I hope one day my loan can get canceled too. I’d really like that $400/month back in my pocket.
Everyone’s student loans should be forgiven. It’s a net benefit for the whole country. If handouts were fine through Pedo Trump’s PPP loan scam, then what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. I know these student loans and the PPP scam aren’t remotely comparable but I’m just pointing out the hypocrisy of the whole situation.

Both scams, but at least one will improve society once paid off.
bank puts debt on people
instead of people repaying it, the govt pays the debt
I get that it's only for public servants etc. and after 10 years, but is this not just a state subsidized money funnel to the bank? Shouldn't the root cause of the unrepayable debt be resolved instead of this?
All of these loans are backed by the US government, not a private bank. Forgiving then is just the government writing it off. The only private entities involved are the borrower and potentially the school.
Ah, that explains it. Thanks!
I've always wondered if there is some way to make a tax argument against these loans. Like they're an illegal tax.
Caveat. The private companies like nelnet and others are servicing the loans on behalf of the government but the loans are government backed.
The courts will roll this back. Trump made sure any progress will be undone for decades.
Not for this. It's just using the current laws to forgive what should have already been forgiven.
Which sadly has been the large majority of what's been forgiven
Student debt shouldn't even be a thing. Do it like Europe and everyone, individuals and society, benefits.
I truly wish but it looks like I'll be spending the next 20-40years fighting for children to get proper k-12 education...
Due to PSLF, not because he's benevolent. He's trying to take credit for a program that's been in effect since Baby Bush
He revitalized a mismanaged program started in 2007 that, up until 2020, forgave about 7000 loans. Since 2021, that number has exceeded 800,000
You haven't been paying attention of you think PSLF was working before the Biden admin had to restructure it
Soon the courts will argue that Biden's restructuring was unconstitutional, and only the courts can restructure it, unless it's a republican administration.
