    Biden administration cancels another $7.4 billion in student loans

    The White House will send emails Friday to 277,000 borrowers informing them their debts — $7.4 billion in total — are being canceled. As Election Day nears, the Biden administration has ramped up efforts to tout the president’s record on wiping clear the education debts of millions of Americans, despite Republican challenges to the efforts.

    “This White House has been unapologetic in our efforts to deliver this relief,” Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said on a call with reporters Thursday. “Imagine the potential of this country if everyone can afford and access higher education. That’s why we’re engaged in this difficult work.”

    The administration has regularly shared updates as it processes batches of debt relief. This latest round brings the total loan forgiveness approved by the president to $153 billion for nearly 4.3 million people, the administration says.

            With inflation and interest rates where they are right now, will this buy him any votes?

                  This one likely gets rescinded. The previous versions had to do with changing the language of the 120 consecutive and on time payments to just 120 payments for those that were on the service repayment plan. He has that administrative ability. This plan he does not and he just directly did what the the SC said not to do.

                    I mean loans in general. Dunno if this one affects me yet.

                        The most aggravating thing is they use the word ‘cancel’ instead of ‘assume’ or ‘reassign’ the debt.

                        They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

                              So will the Fed have to raise interest again to get all those billions back out of the M1 that Biden just pumped back in?
