  • “Biden is considering using executive action to provide $10,000 of debt relief per borrower.”
  • “White House advisers are looking at limiting any loan forgiveness to borrowers earning below a certain income threshold, but they have not finalized that amount.”
  • “The internal Education Department presentation for Cardona cites — as an example of a threshold — $125,000 for individuals and $250,000 for families.”
  • Americans, in general, don’t believe this would be a good idea. SOURCE: Twitter
• Student loan cancelation would be a giant wealth transfer to already wealthy people! SOURCE: Brookings
  • Over 60% of student loan debt is held by people in the top 40% of earners.
  • Takes some time to pay off loans, but they’re living quite comfortably.
• However, college graduates are overestimating the salaries they’ll start out at by $50,000. SOURCE: CNBC
  • College students expect to make $103,880 in their first job.
  • But average starting salary is ONLY $55,260.
