U.S. President Joe Biden plans to announce on Wednesday that his administration has approved an additional $9 billion in student debt relief for 125,000 borrowers, the White House said.

Biden has said he will pursue new measures to provide student loan relief to Americans after the Supreme Court blocked his plan to cancel hundreds of billions of dollars in debt.

The president’s announcement, planned for 1 p.m. EDT at the White House, will bring the total approved debt cancellation by the Biden administration to $127 billion for nearly 3.6 million Americans, the White House said.

    This might be the worst part of student loans. You take out all this debt, you get this degree, and yet you still come out ignorant as hell about how the US system of government works. You don’t even know who to be mad at, so you blame Biden.

        Source? I didn’t see that. Unless you mean in 1976? Or 2005? Both of which is way before all the work he has been doing now, and was passed by the house and senate at the time and signed by the presidents. Not just Biden.
