They’ve forgiven $132 billion so far. It’s not what we wanted, but unfortunately the Republican stacked Supreme Court said Biden couldn’t do blanket forgiveness.
It’s almost like it matters not just who the president is today, but who the president was for the past several decades. And who is and was in Congress.
We can build on what Biden and the Democrats did accomplish, but only if we give them the tools to do so. If we want more stuff like the child tax credit expansion that we got in 2021, we have to reelect Biden and get strong Democratic majorities in the House and Senate. If we want more stuff like the inflation reduction act that is creating jobs and repairing infrastructure, we have to vote for Democrats.
They’ve made it clear they want to do more (i.e. build back better, blanket student loan forgiveness, protect abortion rights). Those long drawn out fights with Manchin and Sinema weren’t just for show. They were a clear indication of what the Democratic Party wants to pass if it has the votes in Congress.

You know a lot. Do you happen to know how they selected who would be forgiven their student loans and who wouldn’t be forgiven?
I’m a military veteran and disabled and they are garnishing all of my disability pay for the next 2 years until my ex-husband’s GI Bill is paid off.
I am severely ill and still have to work, I am stumbling through work and I am extremely sick today and had to take the day off,
again I ask, how does the government decide whose student loan debts are being forgiven, and whose aren’t?

Depends on if you apply for one of the many programs available. If you are 100% disabled per the VA you would qualify for the Total and Permanent Disability Discharge (TPD). Call Nelnet’s TPD department ASAP. Here is their site: https://www.disabilitydischarge.com/
Feel free to DM me if you want to know more, this is literally my day job.

Is that like being a cousin of Neil Diamond or Neil Sedaka?
