I’m boldly labeling today’s post our final update on student loan forgiveness in America. Yes, I could seal the deal by titling it “Final FINAL Update On Student Loan Forgiveness V2_2.” But that feels unnecessary. It’s implied. We’ve written a lot about student loan forgiveness. As a campaign promise, we loved it, but had zero […]
