for forgiving student debt for some borrowers, with some lawmakers praising the plan while others railed against it.Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell“President Biden’s student loan socialism is a slap in the face to every family who sacrificed to save for college, every graduate who paid their debt, and every American who chose a certain career path or volunteered to serve in our Armed Forces in order to avoid taking on debt,” he said.

"By delivering historic targeted student debt relief to millions of borrowers, more working families will be able to meet their kitchen table needs as they recover from the pandemic," she continued.

This is going to bite us all back. You can't keep giving out free money. It's detrimental.

Great. More tax to us hardworking taxpayers. Lets go brandon!!!

I'm watching your news and nobody's bothering to talk about the teachers, firefighters, first-responders, nurses, military members, and other public service workers who already get forgiveness.

Outrageous

Anyone who accepts this bribe should be absolutely ashamed of themselves they have no integrity no morals no self-respect no dignity they should immediately return to their mommy's basement and stay there forever

🤣

Never trust ol' Joe...

Can the government afford to do something so ludicrous or is this just a super plan to win votes in November buying the election makes sense

They better make it free to start with if they want people smarter than Russia and China...these days show it's needed more than ever.

Quit having glorified fountains and marble floors and huge Anderson windows, colleges and universities need to get back to reality and quit making there property and Grounds look like billionaire homes or some thing off Robin Leach rich and wealthy !

How about you pay teachers a livable wage.

at 12 go on line get a 4 yr degree in 18 months ; skip the failed 19 th century ..

🤣🤣 muric. so basically other people will oay it for them.

Shameless! Democratic bribery. Stealing from the rest of us to pay off the debts of the privileged. WORST PRESIDENT EVER!!

You mean us, the tax payers are paying off student debt for others

Joe biden just gave a giant middle finger to middle-class taxpayers

Girls already celebrate it in a song on TikTok ! Take Watch 'The Girl From TikTok' Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.'. Proverbs 31:30-31 VideoViral music TikTokライブ

The word “SOME” is intriguing.

MattEganCNN Interestingly, the vast majority of borrowers will not be affected by this either. It’s simply money being forgiven that was going to be forgiven anyways for income based repayment applicants.

Sooo,..can I just pay off my child’s student loan and take the full amount as a tax write off?…I mean I am going to get stuck with this student loan forgiveness bullshit,..I might as well take a tax write off for it…..

👎

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Aww US is so rich it the only country who can spend money in an inflation period

We need to cap tuition. Colleges have been gouging students for decades. If you can't pay off a loan with the salary from a job using your degree, then you have been overcharged

Hey CNN, what have you become Deceiving.

Despite this, I believe there would still be the situation of academical micro-economical degeneration.

I joined the military to pay off student loans and now I watch the president payoff student loans at tax payers expense right before midterm elections. It makes me sick to my stomach. He just gave the middle finger to every person that ever worked their way through college!

So the single mother inn West Virginia will pay someone else debt.

Until today, I was a blue blood democrat. Worked during college to pay for tuition; also summer construction jobs. My mom helped me with the rest. After working two years I went back at nights and summer to earn a masters. This is sheer idiocy. I get to pay again….

Anybody knows if this includes graduate loans?

Student debt relief is a racist it helps mostly white people and African-American taxes for African-Americans who didn’t go to college or going to pay for white people’s debt !

My daughter refinanced hers so she could afford to make the payments which she has for 6 years. They aren’t federal loans anymore so she loses out. She did the responsible thing so she could afford the payments!

It’s a great start. Thanks Joe Biden 😎🍦👊🏼❤️

I was making less than $125,000 when I paid off my school loans, where is my $10,000?

No no,no!

My wife worked as a substitute teacher for 5 years and saved every penny she made. She used that money to pay cash for a Master's degree in Education with teacher certification.

Pay your own damn debts you leeches.

Just in time to buy votes 😭

Asking the plumbers, electricians, carpenters etc. to pay for college loans of the LOSERS and FRAUDS shows just how incompetent, pathetic and disgusting this Administration is! FACT!

Let’s all celebrate our President’s accomplishments for the good of all, while on “vacation”.

Forgive = transfer the debt to American taxpayers

Auto,airline,insurance,wall street companies and more, all have received payments from tax payers. It wasnt fair, I didnt want to give my money to them, but they still got their trillions. No difference here. However, I do believe they should work on alternative solutions instead

Nina Turner is going to love this😁

It would be refreshing for CNN to report on those positively affected by student loan forgiveness.

Disgusting wealth transfer from the working class to the rich elite, thanks for sticking us again Dems 🖕

I worked full time and went to school full time. No family help. I made it work because I had to. Hopefully I can get some relief on my mortgage or something. Sheesh.

Congratulations all you adult Biden voters! You get to pay for lil Suzy's liberal arts degree and lil Johnnie's film and tv degree! Fucken 🤡s

Where is my refund for me paying for my education in the 80’s and m my reimbursement for putting my son and daughter through college? Double STANDARD IN THIS COUNTRY

The missed part of this plan is if you are on a Income Based Repayment plan, your interest will be covered as long as you are making on time payments. That’s way bigger for total student loan debt than the $10k everyone is fighting about.

So, who is paying for that? Seems like encouraging bad behavior. Some students even borrowed more than they needed and squandered the money. Also, it doesn't seem fair to those who already paid off debt unless you give them their own $10,000.

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.
