President Biden: student loan borrowers enrolled in SAVE “who took out less than $12,000 in loans and have been in repayment for 10 years will get their remaining student debt cancelled immediately"
From Day One of my Administration, I vowed to fix the student loan system and make sure higher education is a pathway to the middle class – not a barrier to opportunity. Already, my Administration has cancelled student debt for 3.6 million Americans through various actions – delivering lifechanging ...
"Borrowers who may be eligible for early debt cancellation to sign up for the SAVE plan at studentaid.gov," a statement by the White House says.
I wonder why that limit, and if they'll raise it...
5They're doing it in small chunks to make it harder for the Republican's to block it. I think the total is above $120 billion forgiven at this point out of the $400 billion target. Couple hundred million here, few billion there. They've been doing a lot better than most people understand at getting it done as best they can.
15My uneducated guess is that banking corps getting "harmed" by the fact they can't suck money out of their borrowers will have to spend more effort putting each order through the courts. At the very least, [the more times that Biden's student loan forgiveness plan is blocked like this] (https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/30/politics/supreme-court-student-loan-forgiveness-biden/index.html), it will get it into voter's heads that it's not the President and Democratic party's failure to act but co-ordinated obstruction by Republicans and the financial institutions.

Probably because Republicans in Congress have been stonewalling the president's student debt forgiveness. He's been forced to lower the amount and the scope of the debt forgiveness several times.
