Good. But it would be more meaningful for borrowers if Congress extended student loan suspensions through at least September 2021.

@HouseDemocrats

have voted *twice* now to extend relief through September 2021.

BREAKING - Trump admin is extending federal student loan relief -- suspension of payments, 0% interest --for another month, until Jan 31, 2021. The relief had been set to expire on Dec. 31.

How about just cancel student loan debt? All of it. (I don’t even have student loan debt, but this is the right thing to do so I’ll fight for it.)

Just a month. Surprising that Trump bothers to appear generous through the lame duck period. What's the gamesmanship going on here?

Cancelling student debt would go a long way to help those of us with sizeable debt load. I am making payments but work in public higher education. Two years of no raises and rising health care costs is making it difficult to keep up.
