How much of that was regular loans most people have and not scam schools?

Only 22 billion was from scam schools

Borrower defense
Another 1.3 million borrowers have walked away from their debt over the past few years thanks to the Borrower Defense Loan Discharge. These people received $22.5 billion in relief.

Borrowers can be eligible for the discharge if their schools suddenly closed or they were cheated by their colleges.

The Biden administration has more swiftly processed these applications and has started considering cases in a group rather than requiring each attendee of a school to prove they were misled.

Looking at the actual breakdown in the link, it's still mostly people who are not regular people.

Nothing about PSLF changed. They just had some forbearance count. Same with those at 20/25, since all IDR is that length. They would all have been forgiven regardless.

Definitely helped people with disabilities though, I'll admit that.

Bragging about this seems like clickbait because it doesn't cover most people in the jam.

The loan servicers werent keeping track of the number of qualifying payments, Kantrowitz said.
The Biden administration has evaluated millions of borrowers loan accounts to see if they should have had their debt cleared.

As a result, it has cleared nearly $42 billion for more than 850,000 people enrolled in these plans.


A large part of doing real concrete work is really just doing the boring tedious administrative work. I'm going to count it as a win that they corrected and fixed broken administrative policies that were stopping people's loans from being cancelled.

Most of it. Scam schools were taken to task by the FTC, not Biden.

This is why people say democrats "have a problem with messaging" because you can never talk about positive things without someone coming in and saying it's not good enough.

Your regular reminder that the only real alternatives to Joe Biden would not only perpetuate a genocide, but actively spark one right here.

I'm not happy about Biden's continuing support of Netanyahu's government as it moves up from apartheid to genocide, but let's not act like Trump (or, if he somehow gets locked up and/or kicked off the ballots before next November, any other Republican) winning in 2024 would solve that problem, or would do literally anything other than make everything exponentially worse.

In before the fake leftists decry you of vote-shaming them. They would rather suffer under a GOP-led government than be scolded by Democratic voters.

The party will insist that there can't be a primary and then insist that everyone votes for their candidate in the general. This is saying voters have no recourse at the ballet box, during a presidential election of all elections, to oppose a genocide.

What makes you people constantly bring up Trump when these things are said? You're praising him for doing a small good thing but put your fingers in your ears and ignore a literal genocide that's being made much worse because of him. You don't need to support Trump to be able to criticize Biden for this. There's a reason why his Arab-American support is waning and it's not because any of them are Trump supporters. It's pathetic.

If you really think Bernie would be supporting Israel nearly this much if he were president, then you're completely delusional.

Because Trump is the alternative and there is no reason whatsoever to think he'll do any better on literally any front and more reasons than I can count to think that he'd do substantially worse.

You're not getting Bernie and it's delusional to think otherwise.

Unless Biden RIPs between now and the election, the dems aren't gonna put anyone else up to run against him, because that'd be fucking stupid.

The Republicans have tied their cart to Trump until he dies.

My IDR is $10.63 a month.

And I'm about 60% done with my PSLF as a HS teacher in the middle of my 7th year.

So I'm doing okay with loans. Would rather them be forgiven, but I'm okay.

Not a teacher but also in PSLF and only have a few months left. Cant believe its almost here. Just keeping my fingers crossed that nothing screws or up.
