[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just by looking at the theme of the tweets today, I have a hunch it’s going to be an executive order focusing on undergraduate debt — likely means tested. [b]Plus you have to factor in Dr Jill Biden being a two year community college professor, where inner city and working class students often have $10k to $20k in federal loans, and over half never finished their program[/b]. And undergraduate caps are low, I think $30k max lifetime, not the obscene six-figure sums you see with master’s and professional degrees.[/quote]

Dr Jill Biden has taught at:

Delaware Technical Community College
$9,000 median federal student loan total (before interest)
25% program completion rate

Northern Virginia Community College
$11,000 median federal student loan total (before interest)
25% program completion rate

Dr Biden personally has taught thousands of working class first-generation college students who never completed their program but are trapped in federal student loan debt. $9,000-11,000 quickly becomes $20,000+ after years of compounding interest and fees. It's impossible to pay off $20,000+ while stuck in a dead-end job.[/quote]
