The Biden administration announced Wednesday that it would forgive an additional $4.8 billion in student loan debt, for 80,300 borrowers.
The relief is a result of the U.S. Department of Education’s fixes to its income-driven repayment plans and Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.
“Before President Biden took office, it was virtually impossible for eligible borrowers to access the student debt relief they rightfully earned,” U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said in a statement. “This level of debt relief is unparalleled and we have no intention of slowing down.”
Can’t wait to hear the businesses who received and were forgiven for PPP “loans” bitch en masse about the unfairness of it all
Edit: nonetheless, this is good news everyone
Or sue!
In what goddamn world do they have ANY fucking standing? So silly lol, and I’m not yelling at you, just the sky with this entire conceit in mind
Since when do they need standing? They killed the original student loan forgiveness without having standing.
It was bullshit then its bullshit now but they must have many executive tricks they can use to find a way to insulate it, or just pay it out and let the SCOTUS enforce their stupid ruling
Apparently, they have standing in the current oligarchic/kleptocratic world.
Yeah, seriously, fuck Sue, she complains about everything!
Sue is such a Karen.
Their tears sustain me. God forbid someone actually help people instead of corporations pretending to be people.
It’s even worse the IG thatbwas over it said that we probably lost 500 billion that we will never know where it went.
Perhaps its conjecture but I’ve heard many statements characterizing it as literally one of the largest wealth transfers in history
Yachts.
It’s socialism! And socialism is bad, in case we weren’t clear on that. Under socialism, healthcare doesn’t work, infrastructure crumbles, power and money is concentrated among a few oligarchs, people can’t afford to pay for rent or food, crime and corruption is rampant, police systematically abuse their powers, the courts are overwhelmed, prisons are overcrowded, there’s violence in the streets, and you don’t have any real voice and your vote doesn’t matter.
How would you like living under THOSE conditions, huh? Exactly. Vote R!
Sometimes good news can just be good news. We don’t have to be cynical about absolutely everything…
Those loans weren’t really presented as loans through. It was literally “hey if you meet the requirements take this money and you won’t have to pay it back”. My small nonprofit got about $56k total and it was really helpful with all the restrictions they were mandating.
I don’t get why its only companies that deserve a hand. The amount of wastef life and time and effort do to student loans is beyond unproductive and punitive
