O.o The debt relief of students wasn’t positive?

I thought that got blocked - or at least, tied up in court. I know there are ongoing initiatives, but isn't the only "big" one, the one that was repaying funds -stolen- from borrowers? Like, refunding overpayments?

The one-time loan forgiveness grant got shut down, yes. But Biden did manage to pass another way to handle student debt relief through the form of a revamped income repayment plan, with wayyyyy more forgiving terms than previous plans, to the point that you could essentially be forgiven of your student loans.
