Many Democrats, current students, and former students want Joe Biden to cancel $10,000 in student debt for all Americans — and the president himself has even expressed his support for the idea.
Additionally, we should forgive a minimum of $10,000/person of federal student loans, as proposed by Senator Warren and colleagues. Young people and other student debt holders bore the brunt of the last crisis. It shouldn't happen again.
However, despite Biden holding the executive power necessary to wipe part of debt holders' slates clean, whether he will do it or not is still questionable.
So, we want to hear — and we want our Representatives to hear — from you! How would having $10,000 less in student loan debt personally impact your life?
Would you finally be able to save money and put a down payment on a house?
Could you quit that second or third job without the extra burden of hefty monthly payments?
Or would the money just be a drop in the bucket that could relieve some of your financial stress — for now?
