Biden just erased my student loan debt. If it's a campaign ploy, I'm all for it

Matt Driscoll

The check was mysterious and unexpected; the best kind, really. It arrived in a small, nondescript envelope. Through the cellophane — or whatever those little windows are made of — my full name appeared, printed on very official-looking paper, suggesting it was either a legitimate payout or a meticulously crafted attempt to sell term life insurance.

It wasn’t a fake. There was a real check for $40 inside; not a princely sum, mind you, but better than nothing.

A no-frills statement was attached, revealing a sender: the U.S. Department of Education.

In the simplest terms, it was a refund for the four months of student loan payments I’d made since enrolling in President Joe Biden’s Saving On a Valuable Education or SAVE Plan.

$40.00 is the amount of principle I've paid on my loans since 1990. I'm also in the save program, hoping for a miracle soon since my original loans (consolidated now) of around $20,000 have ballooned to almost $200,000.
