Awwww. How wonderful. She can now take out more loans to study in India and have those forgiven too. Joe Biden.... Such a compassionate generous man. After all. Don’t some deadbeats dreams outweighs the hard work of taxpayers?

Don’t worry. It wasn’t a debt forced on to taxpayers as “loan forgiveness. It was;
“It’s a result of the Education Department’s one-time account adjustments.;

He shouldn’t be so relieved. As I understand things the $250,000 he has been “forgiven” will be reported to the IRS as “imputed” income. The IRS is not nearly as generous as Biden.

It should also go on his credit report, which potential employers can check.

He will be receiving a letter from the IRS soon welcoming his tax contribution for the loan cancellation effect is now considered income, not to mention the states claws.

He better prepare to pay taxes on this 250K as income on his 1040. The government doesn’t give you anything without taxing you.

Imagine how much of the money being repaid was spent on booze, weed, Spring break, rent, computers and video games?

You congress just gave a foreign nation (the ukraine) $600 billion more of taxpayer’s money on top of hundreds of millions already given.

Arguing over Americans getting $3 billion is silly.
