How Does Loan Forgiveness Actually Work? (No politics)

715 viewsEconomicsOther

Is tax money used? Is anyone profiting from the program? Do colleges lose money? Please don’t make this political. I’d genuinely like to understand without all the talking point bullshit.

Lots of good answers. Something to add. Outside of forgiveness for many of the for profit failing schools, a good number of the current forgiveness programs are for people who have been paying for a long time. To the point where much if not all of the initial capital has been recovered, then some. Personal example, i took out $120,000 in total from undergrad through PhD. Over the course of the 20 years i have been paying it, i have paid 150,000. I still owe 100,000. I have been a faculty member at a public university for 8 years now. I will continue paying 800 a month for the next 2 years, then the government will forgive the 95,000 i still owe
