There is a vast difference between loan forgiveness programs that are on the books vs those that are truly accessible. Put another way, under a Trump administration, these numbers would be a lot lower. https://donmoynihan.substack.com/p/bidens-new-student-loan-plan-is-a

Some of these were existing programs or initiatives that started before Biden, but it is fair to say that no prior administration has worked as aggressively to push student loan reductions. The central theme of these initiatives has been to reduce burdens in existing programs to make them more accessible and functional. The new initiative follows this pattern. IDR was already a tool in the toolbox, but not one used to the degree it could be. If the Biden administration succeeds, the new IDR will be transformative both in terms of its generosity and reach.

They *were* a lot lower. DeVos got sued over it.

The loans that have ACTUALLY been forgiven are in violation of the spirit of PSLF.

Trump provided 0 in loan forgiveness. That’s the difference.

I’ve taken court appointments my entire career. Biden paid off the last little bit, twenty eight years after I graduated law school, after twenty seven years of payments. No other president even tried to help lower income lawyers.
