Biden Defies Supreme Court, Proposes New Effort to Cancel Student Debt

YouTube, @CBS Mornings.

The Biden administration is proposing a new plan to slash student loan debt for more than 30-million borrowers.  The plan announced Monday would affect those with “runaway interest,” borrowers who have been paying on loans for 20 years, and those who qualify for income-driven repayment plans. 

The White House estimates the plan could eliminate accrued interest on 23-million borrowers’ unpaid balances. 

It’s the latest attempt by President Biden to cancel student debt after the Supreme Court blocked his sweeping debt cancellation plan last year.
