From Bloomberg News reporters Justin Sink and Akayla Gardner:
President Joe Biden on Friday announced plans to cancel student debt for about 55,000 public sector workers, as his administration pushes to zero out balances for more people in the final weeks of his administration.
The move — which represents the cancellation of $4.28 billion owed on federal loans — pushes the total number of individuals who have received relief under Biden administration programs to nearly 5 million, the White House said. In total, about $180 billion has been forgiven.
He can forgive federal loans of people with government jobs easier. To do it for people that don’t have public sector jobs he needs congressional approval, and they fought back hard on that when he tried it. I don’t believe they’d be able to unforgive the debts, but IANAL.
Depends on the definition of “being able to”:
(IANAL, but those two are)
