I gotta figure out how long I've been in repayment with initial deferments and covid, I gotta be close
I checked the replies on the tweet thinking a lot of people would be happy
Nope.. They are so angry wtf

You do realize he tried to do something more robust and the Republicans and courts blocked it, right?
This IS ResetEra, but I think that was sarcasm referring to posters who constantly handwave his accomplishments.

Do you not care about the millions of Americans this will improve the lives of?
Most of the people replying to his tweets are the Elon simps and others who are angry that he can't cancel all student loan debt immediately.
So... I'm kind of in a bind. The SAVE plan actually increases my monthly payments compared to my current ICR after I consolidated last year.
I've also got a balance of about 16k left on a loan I've been paying on since 2008. Not sure what benefit I'd be given.

Yeah, that solution also sucked ass lmao. I'll let yall get back to clapping for this man who cant even do the bare minimum
So is this truly "took out less than" or "owe less than"?
I don't remember how much I originally drew but I owe 8k still 🤔

Meanwhile, the rest of us are going to be happy for people that qualify for this and hope Biden continues to push forward on cancelling as much student debt as possible even in the face of obstructionist Republicans that don't want to do anything to address a national issue.
If blanket $10-20k forgiveness sucked ass, what's the bare minimum?
Do we have the hard numbers on that because what's being described sounds like a pretty narrow window.
Even if you don't like him, this relief is incredible and life changing for tons and tons of people.
Sorry you can't see that.
- Beginning in February 2024, the SAVE Plan will give borrowers who originally borrowed $12,000 or less forgiveness after as few as 10 years.
but there are other benefits coming in the Summer like so:
Yeah I was keystrokes from laughing at people who managed to take the obvious sarcasm seriously, then I refreshed in another window first.
Glad I did, 😅
That bare minimum has cancelled over 300 billion dollars worth of student loans, but don't let your fake righteous outrage get in the way.
Well damn, I've not hit that 10 year requirement. But I do have under 10k. How does one sign up for SAVE?
I've known a few that this has massively helped out, should check up on them
Sorry, it's just ResetEra

Explain what more he could of done given the legislative constrains he is working under? Spoiler, its likely you can't. Uneducated takes like this are what is going to get us the dictator type executive that you apparently want.
I mean, this plan forgives my parent's student loan debt but yeah I guess that ain't the "bare minimum"
Like do some of y'all hear yourselves sometimes?
Sure... but Biden has been actively pushing every button he can to get student loan forgiveness to as many people as possible. Since he didn't get the 10-20k broader forgiveness, he has consistently been going for full forgiveness for the most acute cases (which is 3.6 million people per that Tweet).
This has been going on from the very beginning of Biden's loan forgiveness actions. Millions of the poorest college graduates are getting relief while grad school leftists complain, "but what about me?"
If people aren't forced to repay their student loans how else will I ensure they live as miserably as I?!
Maybe this provides some clarity?
That's great, I hope he starts the 5% discretionary income thing sooner than July too, will cut my payment in half
