‘A patronisingly small amount’: Guardian readers on Biden’s student loan relief plan

The president has announced plans to cancel $10,000 in debt for millions of borrowers - but has he gone far enough?

Joe Biden has announced student loan debt relief of up to $10,000 for millions of US graduates, fulfilling a campaign promise.

The US Department of Education will provide up to $10,000 in debt cancellation and up to $20,000 in debt cancellation to Pell Grant recipients. The move pleased many, angered Republicans, and left some feeling it had not gone far enough.
