Biden offers alternative student debt relief plan that would remove immediate threat of default

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:31:40 GMT

By WILL WEISSERT and COLLEEN LONG (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden vowed Friday to push ahead with a new plan to provide student loan relief for millions of borrowers while blaming Republican “hypocrisy” for triggering the day’s Supreme Court decision that wiped out his original plan. Biden said payment requirements for student loans would resume in coming weeks, but that he would work under the authority of the Higher Education Act to begin a new program designed to ease borrowers’ threat of default if they fall behind over the next year.Hours after the Supreme Court ruling, Biden commented from the White House, trying to stay on the political offensive even as the ruling undermined a key promise to young voters who will be vital to his 2024 reelection campaign. Biden delivered most of his remarks in a measured tone but then raised his voice at the end when a reporter asked if he had given borrowers false hope.“I didn’...

Massachusetts Democrats slam Supreme Court for rejecting Biden’s student loan cancellation plan

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:31:40 GMT

A Supreme Court decision that killed President Joe Biden’s $400 billion plan to cancel federal student loan debt for millions of Americans was swiftly criticized by Massachusetts Democrats.State and federal lawmakers urged the president to explore other avenues for student debt relief, after Friday’s 6–3 court decision, which said the Biden administration had overstepped its authority with the plan.The decision, with conservative justices in the majority, leaves borrowers responsible for loan repayments that are expected to resume this fall, after having been paused since the start of the pandemic three years ago.“This fight is not over,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren said in a statement. “The president has more tools to cancel student debt and he must use them.“More than 40 million hardworking Americans are waiting for the help that President Biden promised them, and they expect this administration to throw everything they’ve got into the fight until they make good on this commitment.”U.S....

Stock market today: Another rally sends Wall Street nearly 16% higher for the first half of the year

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:31:40 GMT

By STAN CHOE (AP Business Writer)NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street blazed to another rally Friday to close a winning week, month and first half of the year after reports suggested pressure on inflation may be easing.The S&P 500 climbed 1.2% to reach its highest level since April 2022. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 285 points, or 0.8%, and the Nasdaq composite jumped 1.4%. The market has cruised through 2023 in part because the economy has been able to defy many predictions for it to fall into a recession, at least so far. The job market in particular has remained resilient despite high interest rates that slow the economy in hopes of dragging down inflation. That’s helped profits for companies not fall as much as feared.“Just think back to the beginning of the year: There was more pessimism both on the economic and corporate fronts,” said Lisa Erickson, head of the public markets group at U.S. Bank Wealth Management. “And we’ve just seen, o...
