Can't wait for it to be blocked by Republicans so they can say he didn't do anything.
Or take credit for any potential benefits by claiming it was their idea and they did all the work.
He needs to go further and stop the loans all together and force these mega schools to go free if they're state run colleges. It's bullshit that these schools are fed federal/state money and then continue to paywall education for everyone.
I'm financial hardship is he going forgive my loans?
Hi financial hardship, I’m dad!

I benefited from a federal loan cancellation due to hardship this past March. 35k in Staffords - poof. It was amazing.
Wicked! I'm glad some people are benefitting from it.
I'll have you know I toughened up, pulled myself up by the bootstraps, and paid off a $25k loan over the span of eight or so years
...and I'm still glad people are getting loan forgiveness because I don't want other people to have to go through the BS I did. Congrats!
How dare you benefit from it when other people aren't! You're required to suffer because other people didn't get theirs. And if they did get theirs, you're required to suffer anyway because you weren't good enough.
I think that's how it's supposed to work anyway.
That's awesome! my wife didn't qualify unfortunately (lucky it's not a big amount of money) but I'm glad there are people who do and they are getting what they deserve. This should help so many out there that are in a tough position. This is what tax money should be used for, along with infrastructure, medieval bills, education, and any other thing that benefits us as a whole.
Oof, our tax money is definitely funding a lot of medieval bills :(
I'm curious, what was your degree? Have you found work in your field at all?
Graduated >10 years ago with an engineering degree, and worked in an industry that was nailed really hard by Covid. The career was… pretty close to my field, but accepted many different engineering degrees.
In before "he's only doing it because of the election" as if that somehow makes it a bad thing.
And as if he hasn't been doing this throughout his entire term as president.
Or as if they all don't, and that's not how the whole system is designed to run
Trying, not doing.
Im not even american, but the FTC and Joe seem a lot cooler these past few months
That's all Lina Khan. A diamond in the rough
Well, she's rough on the baddies, but she seems polished and sparkly to me.
I couldn't care less if people do the right thing for the wrong reason and I have never understood why anyone does.
