The people who struggle the most to repay their debts and would likely default once the repayment freeze ends? $10K in loans or less. This is a huge weight off their shoulders. https://t.co/9QKGhjiwSS — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

Do I wish that even more people will be affected by the Biden administration's student loan announcement? Clearly!! But the impact this will have on, for example, the millions of people who didn't graduate but are struggling with student debt, is massive https://t.co/9QKGhjiwSS — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

I wrote more words about today's student loan debt announcement. My big takeaway: it's not everything I wanted, but it's impossible to deny the impact it will have for millions of Americans. Overall, I give it a B+ https://t.co/9QKGhjiwSS — PolitiTweet.org

@warren__terra I’m writing more in-depth on it now, this was a thoughts gathering thread — PolitiTweet.org

@CrookedKnight @PeytonWXYZ Correct! $250K per household. — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

But hey, it's definitely better than nothing which is what it looked like we were going to get for a while. And the clarity that debt holders will have moving forward is something that has been needed for a long time. https://t.co/EXG4AoGgEy — PolitiTweet.org

But it leaves nonwhite grad degree holders for example in the lurch, when those advanced degrees are often necessary as an extra boost to advance in their field. I'm also not a huge fan of the income cap, given how it may skew the efficacy of the relief program. — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

So a mixed bag. On the one hand, it targets the people whose families were most struggling to pay for college. And it's aimed at the majority of debt holders. — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

When I graduated about a decade ago, I had around $40K in student loans and definitely had Pell Grants, so this move would have cut my debt in half, meaning that by now I'd be entirely out of the hole instead of still paying off the last few thousand — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

So if you're making $90K and have $20K in federal student loan debt left, your debt will be either cut in half or cleared entirely depending on your need in undergrad If you're making $126K and have only about $3K left on your loan repayment, you're out of luck here — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

Another factor that will determine how many of those 23.9 million see their debts erased: how many of them are making over $125K at this point. The data is unclear on how many, say, are making that much and have paid down the majority of their loans already — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

According to https://t.co/8KzJFKsfFS data as of Q2 2022, about 45.3 million Americans hold federal student loan debt This action will clear the remaining debt of up to 23.9 million Americans, depending on if they had Pell Grants in undergrad, so up to about half of the total — PolitiTweet.org
