"Biden administration forgives $39 billion in student loan debt, benefiting over 800,000 borrowers"

TL;DR Summary
The Biden administration announced that it will forgive the student loans of over 800,000 borrowers, totaling $39 billion in debt. This move comes after a Supreme Court rejection of a broader plan to forgive $400 billion in federal student loan debt. Critics argue that the administration is abusing its authority and burdening taxpayers with unpaid debt, while supporters argue that this action aligns with existing congressional authority over income-driven repayment plans. The announcement aims to fix past administrative failures and ensure borrowers receive the forgiveness they deserve.
