    The initial 20k goal was 430bil forgiven, that the SC knocked down.

    His admins “peeing on a house fire” has forgiven 136bil so far in small 5bil/10bil awards, and thats before this. The above doesnt even take into account the huge improvements the SAVE plan brings, like setting interest to 0% while you pay on your loan, doubling the minimum income before you have to pay for means adjusted borrowers so that way more people pay $0/month, and allowing anyone in default to get trued up instantly.

    136 billion isn’t 430 billion, but its hugely, hugely more than any admin has ever forgiven student loans. Its disappointing it didnt reach the full scope, but its more than anyone has every done.

    Man has pissed a lake onto a forest fire, but yall wanted him to piss a river into a volcano and he couldn’t get it done, so suddenly “he hasent done anything.”

    Fuck all that.

      This!

      For Biden’s faults, what his team has done for borrowers has been great to the people who need it the most. Even in the face of the GOP trying to stop them at every turn.

      That attitude of All or Nothing really pisses me off.

      “Oh, you had a goal to lose 100 lbs in a year but only lost 80? You might as well have not tried to begin with, loser.”

      Fucking stupid
