Biden says he is forgiving $5 billion in student debt for another 74,000 Americans
President Biden said that of the borrowers who can get their loans forgiven, nearly 44,000 are teachers, nurses, firefighters and others who are eligible for forgiveness after working 10 years of public service.
President Biden announced Friday that his administration is forgiving $5 billion in student debt for another 74,000 borrowers, marking the latest round of debt cancellation since the Supreme Court voided the president's student loan forgiveness program.
Mr. Biden said that of the borrowers who can receive relief, nearly 44,000 are teachers, nurses, firefighters and others who are eligible for forgiveness after working 10 years of public service. Almost 30,000 of those who will have their debt wiped clean have been repaying their loans for at least 20 years, but did not get the relief they earned through income-based plans, the president said.
With the latest round of student loan forgiveness, more than 3.7 million Americans have had their debt erased under the Biden administration, Mr. Biden said.

I went to school, paid attention, picked the relevant major to my interests, and paid off my debt. Just because others partied or made decisions doesn't mean they shouldn't have to pay their debts while those who worked hard pay it for them.
What did you major in, fascism and being a bad person?
I majored in feminist critical perspective /s
These people likely paid off the original loan and are still paying off interest. No one is "paying their debts", the people profiting off the debts aren't profiting as much.
