Summary

President Biden announced student loan forgiveness for 150,000 additional borrowers, raising the total to over 5 million under his administration.

The latest beneficiaries include borrowers defrauded by schools, individuals with disabilities, and public service workers.

Biden emphasized his focus on expanding pre-existing forgiveness programs after his broad plan was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2023.

Conservatives and Trump argue the efforts overstep executive authority and unfairly shift costs.

Biden called the initiative a fulfillment of his promise to reduce financial barriers to education.

    There are way too many people who fault you and your effort if it’s not perfect in their eyes.

    Those people are to blame for our current situation too.

      yeah I basically feel this way. I also think there is a lot who can’t possibly see their own innactions or actions as being bad and blame everyone else.
