The Supreme Court weighs if Biden’s plan of canceling $400 billion in student debt should be allowed.
Biden Administration Plans to Cancel Student Debt
President Joe Biden’s plan of canceling billions in student loans will aid and provide relief to many individuals with loans and help resolve the past years’ economic damage.
CNBC reported that the relief program was initially implemented under the emergency declaration to cater to the needs of people affected by the pandemic and other health crises that hit the nation.
However, Biden’s plan to continue the student loan forgiveness plan garnered different opinions. Some experts claimed that the president and his administration only used the pandemic and other emergencies as excuses to implement his proposal.
