President Biden argued this provides "breathing room" for the economy, while Republicans like Senator Joni Ernst criticized the move as a "socialist scheme." Critics point out that many of these borrowers have been paying for over a decade, often only covering interest.

The new "SAVE" program for student loans is analyzed as a form of "stealth" debt forgiveness.

Education Secretary Miguel Cardona warns of consequences like wage garnishment, though the administration has promised a one-year "on-ramp" where missed payments won't be reported to credit agencies.

Progressive strategists express concern that a lack of bold action on climate change and student debt relief may lead to low voter turnout for Democrats in the midterms.

The Department of Education announced $5.8 billion in full student loan discharges for 560,000 borrowers who attended the now-defunct Corinthian Colleges. The move is seen as a political win for Vice President Kamala Harris, who previously sued the for-profit chain as California's Attorney General. Critics of the Vice President suggest her public speaking style and repetitive rhetoric may be indicative of a lack of preparation or other factors.

Contrary to the perception of "free" education in Europe, Dutch students are accumulating between 10,000 and 40,000 euros in debt through government loans. The Dutch credit agency (BKR) has begun including student debt in social credit scores, making it difficult for young people to buy homes.
