    As someone who has to pay back half of my COVID relief but so many rich people and corporations don’t- I feel this deep in my black soul.

    $7000 on top of my student loans👍

      Quick question? How come you gave to pay half of it back? On what grounds?

      I made a $10,000 payment to close out mine a few years ago. Turns out I was right that Biden wouldn’t do anything meaningful on that front, and I was tired of being gouged on the interest.

      I still support cancellation though. I wish we were spending 200 billion on that instead of another country’s war.

        You should take a second to look up who is in the way of that happening, because it sure as hell isn’t Biden.

          It isn’t Biden, who single-handedly struck a deal as a congressman to ensure students couldn’t declare bankruptcy due to crushing student loan debt? Huh.

            I don’t think the above users meant 1976 when they were talking about Biden’s actions on Student Loans. Just a hunch. Also, technically, Student Loans are dischargeable by Bankruptcy starting 5 years into repayment or sooner in the case of undue hardships.

      • Dude you know they were referring to covid relief and not LOANS. “On what grounds” they said, obviously that’s not referring to paying back a loan and instead on what grounds would you have to pay back RELIEF funds.

            Because the federal student loan plan is where I got the loan, so now I owe the big G like $15,000 instead of just under $8000.

            I never should have had to pay back relief funds. I don’t dispute my loans, though they should be inteest free.
