Do You Qualify For Biden's Latest Student Loan Forgiveness Plan? Here's How To Find Out

[@jonigarciajg]

don't forget all those big businesses that got huge PPP loans forgiven, not to mention the banks being bailed out during the great recession while so many people lost their homes and weren't bailed out. student loan forgiveness is the right thing to do

[@steakskinsgt3699]

I have a mortgage that needs forgiveness as well, maybe old Joe can do that as well.

[@GTPInternational]

You know what they call people who steal

[@elkillerx]

Except the PPP loans were forgiven if the business who took them used those loans to maintain their payroll and avoid laying off employees. The money helped save a lot of jobs and reduced the already overburdened unemployment benefit backlog. Not to mention that it passed with overwhelmingly bipartisan support.

[@cathystone17]

The interest on student loans should be illegal. The government should not be profiting students.

[@bertram-raven]

Student loans come from banks. The government, sometimes, underwrites the loan but does not issue it.

[@flybirds2024]

So neither of my kids will qualify because they both studied meaningful majors and are making very good money and are paying all their loans on time and will be paid off in about 10 years after graduation. So why are others now available to have their loans paid, this is a real slap in the face of those that are paying loans and will never qualify for any forgiveness!

[@rosarionunez6954]

Lucky kids…. Not everybody get good jobs with full benefits, nowadays kids with two degrees make under $30,000

[@rogerrutz5820]

Let's not forget the 8% interest on student loans. Someone is making big money on this and that alone should be illegal. I took out $125,000 and had to pay back $250,000. Which I am done paying for. But you get the point.

[@bertram-raven]

So you think banks should not lend money?

[@howtheheckru8102]

I will say that I owned a company and two of my employees had student loans and they both owed more than the original amount of the loan, one after 10 years of paying on it. I can't remember now whether I had to garnish their wages or not. Yes they didn't use it completely for education and should not have taken the loans but it was easy money and they got sold on it.

@breakthroughwithdr.d We don't have the best choices, but Biden, in my book, is many times over it's not even close. Unfortunately, he has a couple areas where he sucks. The Israel/Palestine war to begin with. The border seems to be bad as well. Sucks he couldn't get that border bill through. He is president and is still responsible regardless of who opposed it. Renegotiate and pressure campaign. Make the GOP cave one way or the other to pass the bill. Some executive action could help, but that would only be a bandaid, and is not enough. The economy could be better, but it's seems to be doing great regardless of how people feel about how other people are doing economically. Polls on this indicate the fake idea that people are feeling bad about their economic situation. People are doing well. Personally, I am doing better than ever. That's possibly because I am growing my career. Anyways, best of luck to you. Hope you don't feel pressured to vote for someone like Trump who you don't want to vote for.

[@artofthereal]

Please keep in mind that there is no free lunch. It doesn't matter if people pay off their loans or you pay them off, you're all still paying. If that other person paid off their loans, then they didn't inject that money into the economy, which eventually trickles down to you and your place of work not getting that money in one way or another. It would have been cheaper if we had made it free instead of charging all this debt, interest and fees for this boondoggle of student loans.

People with student debt have ALWAYS qualified for Student Loan forgiveness. It's called "get a job and pay back what you agreed to borrow, you deadbeat". That's always been in place. Maybe you can start by using your lesbian dance theory degrees to get a job at Starbucks and stop crying if you have to work more than 10 hours a week. It's called being an adult. Maybe everyone would agree to student debt relief if: A) It didn't come out of the pockets of people who chose not to get a student loan, and B) You had your debt relief cancelled 100%, but you lose your degree. Nobody gets everything for nothing. Why should you have a degree for free to you, but at the expense of people who never got themselves into debt?
