US President Biden announces US Student Loan Forgiveness Program Details.

  • A campaign promise of the current U.S. President was College Student Loan Forgiveness.
  • Details of the proposed program were released today, which will totally forgive the debts of many, and a large percentage of others.
  • The apparent target group for the proposal is the group of students currently earning so little income that loan default is statistically probable.

Details available now include:

  • Proposal to forgive $10,000 in student loans for borrowers who earned less than $125,000 during the pandemic.
    source

  • Additionally proposes that : People who received Pell Grants, and grants to low-income students, while they were enrolled in college will be eligible to have $20,000 in debt forgiven.
    source

  • The proposal states that only Only people who earned less than $125,000 as an individual or $250,000 as part of a married couple in 2020 or 2021 will be eligible for forgiveness. source

It is projected that this measure will help by:

  • Completely forgiving and erasing the student debt entirely for 15 million of the 43 million people with federal loans. source

  • Partially forgive the debt of an additional 5 million people.
    source

  • This will not help over 23 million students.
  • The estimated cost of the proposal is $230 billion dollars. source

Right or wrong?

  • This gives financial relief to 20 million US Students.
  • Some will debate the fairness of forgiving some, but not others, and some will debate it due to the cost.
  • What fo you think?
