Wow congrats USA for doing something that makes sense before Canada.
I still wish we got a bill at the end of the year like some European countries. Maybe a deadline to send in special forums in case of some edge cases but they know what's up .
It's literally the Biden admin. They've made it a huge priority and followed through.
People knock Biden, but he's been consistently doing this stuff across the government. It's refreshing.
I keep bringing up how awesome the new SAVE federal student loan repayment program is. Income based repayments that go as low as $0 with the federal government covering any interest that you payment would have gone towards, plus after 10 years of payments balances of $12k and less are forgiven (11 years for $13k, 12 years for $14k, etc.)
So if you got a low paying degree from a community college, like say an early childhood education degree, you get pretty close to free education since you can make your $0 payments every month and get your entire student debt forgiven after a decade. Or if you have a career that doesn't pay much at first but ratchets up you only make payments when you have the income to make them, and still get forgiven after 10 years, and there's no real penalty to paying the $0 payments earlier since the balance hasn't grown and is still forgiven on the same date. Or like many people who attend community college, if you end up dropping out and getting no degree, you're not penalized like earlier plans would have penalized you.
