Now As a tax payer, I’m on the hook…thanks.
This isn't a tuition debt matter, this is a divorce matter.
I can’t believe people don’t want to pay others people student loans They must be Republicans
To be perfectly honest, I never thought I’d see the day in America where student debt forgiveness would be a real thing. I’m actually quite impressed! Biden is getting things done for the actual people…not huge corporations!
14,000 people? You write this for 14k people? They shouldn’t have been clueless enough to get married in the first place. And if you do marry, KEEP everything separate!
Still some thing to overcome, but nice to see the federal government trying to work for all of us.
It's not a win.
