So the inbreds of the GOP are all for bailing out Wall Street, the banks, the cruise industry, airlines, corporate America, the list goes on… GOT IT!

What a joke. $125k threshold for a individual and $250k for a married couple. I paid for my college degree as well as my daughter's education. Stop printing money. Enough is enough. Biden needs to be like Clinton who is the last President to have a budget surplus.

DarkBrandon got those bands he promised

My country just cancel Africa's debt.

Smells of desperation

Looks like I was born a few years early. I missed the opportunity to borrow this money that I could use to buy fancy laptops and a great bike to commute to classes.

Biden's student loan plan: What we know (and what we don't)President Joe Biden is expected to announce today that many Americans can have up to $10,000 in federal student loan debt forgiven. Here's what we know so far and what it means for people with outstanding student loans. It means the responsible will be paying for the irresponsible. The US could get more bang for the buck if it paid debts based on not the face value but what the holders of the debt paid. Why? Because most student loans are resold in'tranches' at cents on the dollar. If someone paid $1k for a 10,000, pay the $1k, wipe out $10,000! Congrats to every worker busting their ass in the the ship channel, truckers, and other blue collar gigs to fund someone’s gender studies degree. Elections have consequences.
