The Education Department announced the latest round of cancellation on Wednesday, saying it will erase $7.7 billion in federal student loans.

The Biden administration is canceling student loans for another 160,000 borrowers through a combination of existing programs.

The Education Department announced the latest round of cancellation on Wednesday, saying it will erase $7.7 billion in federal student loans. With the latest action, the administration said it has canceled $167 billion in student debt for nearly 5 million Americans through several programs.

…

The latest relief will go to borrowers in three categories who hit certain milestones that make them eligible for cancellation. It will go to 54,000 borrowers who are enrolled in Biden’s new income-driven repayment plan, along with 39,000 enrolled in earlier income-driven plans, and about 67,000 who are eligible through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.

    Did we supply those countries with weapons to commit genocide?

    I personally think it’s stupid to not vote for Biden but your argument doesn’t really make sense.

      Yes, the USA literally sent weapons to the Saudis to bomb Yemen,

      Also if you don’t supply weapons to a country, they shouldn’t have sympathy??? You are the one who doesn’t make sense

        No, but if the USA doesn’t supply weapons there’s nothing the citizens of the US can do about it. This is an issue they can actually affect by pressuring the US President.

        Also, good point on Yemen. Hopefully this is helping people realize how many places around the world the US is causing pain and suffering for.
