Even more Americans could see their student loans forgiven after the Biden administration announced how those struggling with their payments could have their debts wiped. The proposal unveiled on Thursday outlines multiple factors the Education Secretary may consider to determine whether borrowers are facing the type of hardship that would get them relief. The Biden administration has already cancelled $136.6 billion in student loan debt for 3.7 million borrowers, but the Supreme Court struck down President Biden's original $400 billion plan to cancel it last June.

Any chance we taxpayers can deduct the cost of these forgiven loans on our income tax?

I think he should pay for this illegal "loan forgiveness" out of his own pocket. He has probably scammed enough money to do that.

He should use his own money. The US Treasury is not his piggy bank. Perhaps, PDT can explain to the voters that this expenditure is no authorized. PDT can then ask joe to paid it all from his money.

Total US debt is 97 trillion dollars. How much of that debt is bad debt never going to be repaid? Bet that is what these student loans are. Biden and his cronies are trying to hide the problem knowing full well this cannot be hidden. We are likely already witnessing the fallout of this in the form of inflation. How many dollars have been printed with nothing of value behind them? Bad loans for bad investments.

Before this is over, he will be promising "forgiveness of student loans" to people who don't have student loans and never did. (i.e. another thinly veiled form of welfare -- kind of like the "income tax rebate" checks a few years ago that went to everybody, even to people who didn't pay any income tax).

Furious Harlem residents forced New York Mayor Eric Adams into a humiliating u-turn on plans to house migrants in an empty luxury apartment building after they spotted bunk-beds being discreetly delivered. The WA condominium off 130th Street promised buyers an indoor swimming pool, marble bathrooms and a rooftop running track, before the project was put on ice in a neighborhood with a chronic housing shortage. Schools, nursing homes and a string of landmark hotels have been requisitioned to house many of the 170,000 migrants who have arrived in the city since the spring of 2022.

A coalition of Democrats in the U.S. House, led by self-proclaimed atheist Rep. Jared Huffman, has written to Speaker Mike Johnson to express members’ rage over a Christian pastor’s recent House invocation, and to express their intolerance for his views. It was Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel in Chino Hills who had been invited to deliver the invocation and, as a Christian, spoke of a “coming day of judgment.”Democrats responded by claiming Hibbs is “radical Christian Nationalist who helped fuel the January 6th insurrection and [who] has a long record of hateful vitriol toward non-Christians, immigrants, and members of the LGBTQ community.”

More black veterans need to file for — and receive — mental health disability checks, because, according to President Biden’s Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), being black and declared mentally disabled is a more “equitable” way to treat our nation’s warriors. According to the VA’s released on Wednesday, “while Black Veterans receive VA benefits at higher rates than other Veterans – their grant rates for disability compensation are lower for mental health conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder.” “A higher percentage of Black Veterans currently receive disability compensation benefits than white Veterans for mental health conditions (21.7% vs. 12.7%).

Donald Trump’s days as a Big Apple real estate tycoon may be numbered. A New York judge ordered that the former president pay more than $350 million — and limit his doing business in the state where he made his name — after finding Friday that he inflated his net worth by billions to dupe banks and insurers over the course of a decade. The ruling from Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron, if it withstands an inevitable appeal, could cause Trump, 77, to be stripped of control over Midtown’s Trump Tower and his other iconic New York properties.

This story will make you miss the days when education was about actually learning skills and subjects that would help to equip children for adulthood. A Seattle high school issued a reading assignment featuring nine supposed traits of white supremacy. The assignment in question dives deep into progressive racial theory and is ostensibly intended to promote critical thinking about America’s societal structures. But a closer look reveals its actual aim: To further indoctrinate children into progressive ideology on race issues. Students in a Seattle English class were told that their love of reading and writing is a characteristic of “white supremacy,” in the latest Seattle Public Schools high school controversy.
