| 'Desperate' for Votes: Biden Expands Student Loan Forgiveness by $1.2 Billion |
| by Dan Hart |
| On Wednesday, President Joe Biden announced a new round of federal student loan debt forgiveness, in which almost 153,000 borrowers will have their loans forgiven at a cost of $1.2 billion to American taxpayers under what the White House has termed the SAVE program. Since Biden took office, he has now canceled over $131 billion of student loan debt. Experts say the policy, which will further deepen the over $34 trillion national debt, is a "desperate" attempt to garner the votes of young college students. |
