Just a week after announcing plans to expand student loan forgiveness and income-based repayment programs, President Biden is reportedly exploring options to forgive most of the $1.6 trillion the country holds in federal student loan debt.
CBS News reports Biden discussed the issue during a meeting at the White House on Monday with members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. As of 2022, more than 43 million borrowers owe a collective $1.6 trillion in student loan debt, which ranks behind mortgages as the second-largest debt held by Americans.
