What you need to know about Biden's student debt plan and the Supreme Court

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : But the plan faces two challenges before the Supreme Court, and a pause in student debt payments imposed during the pandemic is set to expire.
51% : When the idea was first floated during the 2020 campaign, part of the rationale for both debt cancellation and the payments pause was to support a pandemic-weakened economy.
50% : There's also a racial equity element: Forgiving $10,000 in debt to all borrowers regardless of income would have zeroed out loan balances for 2 million Black borrowers and reduced the Black-White gap in the share of individuals with student debt from 9 to 6 percentage points, according to data Senator Elizabeth Warren cited from the University of California Merced and Princeton University.
47% : Some say that the plan would be unfair to those who have already paid back student loans or who worked their way through college to avoid debt.
