22. How would you have received 60K USD in student loan debt relief?

Dec 2024

More than a handful of centrist/moderate/conservative Democratic House and/or Senate members opposed even the much lower 10K/20K USD forgiveness that Biden tried to do (and was struck down by SCOTUS).

Many here on DU were vehemently against even those lower amounts, let alone 60K USD.

I highly doubt 60K USD per person across the board debt cancellation would pass even a Democratic controlled House and Senate.

Were you referring to the 20 to 25 years (depending on loan types) forgiveness after those thresholds are met via IDR?
