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.
quarter assing it as usual but asking for more fundraising and votes like he did something
just like with everything else he does
I appreciate just how hard you have to work to make it sound like he’s innefectual.
Just say you love Trump and don’t care about the truth. Save us the fucking time.
I encourage you to run for president on the “I have no idea how any of this works, and that’s why I’m going to solve all your problems” ticket.
Worked for the last guy! You might even get a shot at embarrassing yourself on an international stage, just like the last guy!
Jfc, what do you people want him to do? Intransigent congress and corrupt supreme court basically means any comprehensive forgiveness is DOA. This is going to help people, bottom line.
Wait, I forgot, yours is a bad faith argument. Das vadanya
Just flag them and move on. That account constantly posts brain dead anti-Biden takes. They’re not here for reasonable discussion.
Thanks, done! My blocklist is getting too big. Surprised something as small as lemmy attracts so many trolls
It’s specifically because it’s lemmy that it does. The more freedoms a platform has the more of them come out of the wood work. Hence 4chan being so full of them.
The president isn’t a king dipshit, he straight up doesn’t have the power to do whatever he wants, by design.
You sure? you evil swines and your president “who isn’t a king” has no problem when you have to send weapons for genocide or murder millions of people abroad or is immune to war crimes.
Seems pretty much like a king to me.

Seethe mother fucker. Learn a bit of your own history.
Removed, civility.
“Seethe mother fucker” coming from a guy who talks at you like an anime villain and accidentally contradicts his own point about the U.S. legislative process. Take a break bro.

You got em. The long and storied history of q1, 2024.
What do you expect him to do with Republicans blocking him through Congress and the courts?
