$10 Billion in Student Debt Erased Under Biden, but Calls Grow for More

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : The push for widespread debt cancellation has overshadowed calls to mend these and other glaring administrative problems that urgently need to be addressed, advocates say -- ideally before January, when borrowers will start getting bills again.
44% : While the department's actions so far have generated little controversy -- few oppose giving military personnel, disabled borrowers and scammed students the relief to which they're legally entitled -- the idea of more broadly canceling student debt is a lightning rod.
27% : Nearly $10 billion in student loan debt has been wiped away since President Biden took office, the most sweeping attempt to fix badly broken parts of the federal student loan system in at least a decade.
