• A campaign promise of the current U.S. President was College Student Loan Forgiveness.

Details available now include:

• Proposal to forgive $10,000 in student loans for borrowers who earned less than $125,000 during the pandemic.
  source

• Additionally proposes that : People who received Pell Grants, and grants to low-income students, while they were enrolled in college will be eligible to have $20,000 in debt forgiven.
  source

• The proposal states that only Only people who earned less than $125,000 as an individual or $250,000 as part of a married couple in 2020 or 2021 will be eligible for forgiveness.

It is projected that this measure will help by:

• Completely forgiving and erasing the student debt entirely for 15 million of the 43 million people with federal loans. source

• Partially forgive the debt of an additional 5 million people.
  source

• This will not help over 23 million students.

• The estimated cost of the proposal is $230 billion dollars. source

Right or wrong?

• This gives financial relief to 20 million US Students.
• Some will debate the fairness of forgiving some, but not others, and some will debate it due to the cost.
• What fo you think?
