$15,000 of student loans. bill: i would have loved to have been given 10 grand. it could change your life but i signed a contract. a contract. i had to pay it. that was the bill. dana: i was so afraid i couldn t make my next payment that i made two payments at night. i was a waitress. president biden has had to make this decision over and over because he has hemmed and hawed about it. right now today he is expected to cancel up to $10,000 in student debt for americans making less than $125,000 per year. he will also reportedly extend the pause on loan repayments until after the mid-terms even though apparently we have the best job market in history. bill: taxpayers will foot the bill for all of this. it will cost anywhere between $300 billion at the low end and upwards of $980 billion at the high-end depending the decision he makes. dana: the price tag is raising alarm bells on both sides of the aisle. critics are calling it a hand-out that will do more harm than good
first major announcement since then, forgiving student loan debt for millions of americans up to $20,000 per borrower. and it s angering republicans and some democrats. hello, welcome, everyone. i m sandra smith. another busy news day. john: i m john roberts in washington. this is america reports. we ll have the president s remarks as they happen during the next hour. republicans say the move will cost taxpayers billions of dollars and worsen an already historic inflation crisis. democrats say, though, that the plan does not go nearly far enough. calling for thousands more in loan forgiveness. reaction already mixed. the government shouldn t pay for it. if you go to school, you pay for it yourself. if you can t, get a scholarship. i think we can live with it. why not give the students a break, that s our future. if you go to school, you should probably pay for it. sandra: a california congressman will react in just moments. john: peter doocy on the north lawn. y
taxpayers and disproportionately benefit the wealthy. in recent days, there has been considerable bipartisan pushback to the plan. that is now going forward as the country faces record high up beflation. president biden today claiming the plan will have no meaningful affect on inflation but his critics, including some former obama administration officials remain unconvinced. white house correspondent peter doocy starts us off tonight live from the north lawn. good evening, peter. good evening, bret. white house officials say they have no idea how much this plan is actually going to cost because they think there are plenty of eligible student loan debt holders who are going to choose not to go online and tell the government that they want to cancel up to $10,000 in that debt. now it s time to address the burden of student debt. the president s announcement benefits 43 million borrowers including 20 million who will see their student debt totally canceled up to 10,000 in
polls. who will succeed joe biden? well, you know, there s no question in my mind that joe biden is doing exactly what needs to be done for this great country of ours. we all know that our democracy is teetering on edge. we need a joe biden to get us through this rough patch. i think he s doing great with that. we know that this forecast includes vice president harris. i support her. and i m just saying that if he chooses not to run again, first on my list after him would be kamala harris. democrats saying it s kamala s time to shine, never mind poor handling of the border. i think she doesn t get to show the personality enough, so people haven t had a chance to know her. most of the media is white and male, and their take on kamala becomes conventional wisdom. joy reid is right. here s the real kamala. i experienced great joy when i watched this brilliant, phenomenal black woman, jurist, be so smart, and just cut through the political gamesmanship that they were atte
