From the WH fact sheet:"Thanks to the American Rescue Plan, this debt relief will not be treated as taxable income for the federal income tax purposes."

Charlie- don't get too picky. Youdon't have to marry them, just be thankful for their votes. You have mixed history with Florida and those of us with a memory need some time to fall in love.

From The Amazing World Of Gumball: "I left high school with three dollars in my pocket! And do you know what I did? I bought a house, started a family, and put the other two dollars in the bank!"

If all I owed was the principal I'd be home free. But the interest looks down on that relatively puny figure now and laughs and laughs. I don't know how many of those "spam risk" calls I keep getting these days are student loan collectors, because I never answer them, and my voice mail box has been disabled for about 10 years now. I never see any mail. I don't think they even know I'm alive anymore. So I'll keep my head down as far under the table as possible and continue to take my lumps. I knew exactly what I was getting into when I decided to become the first (and, unfortunately, still only) person in my family's history to earn a degree. Pops always said I was too big for my britches. And sho nuff.

eliminating for profit universities and colleges would also help. as would eliminating degrees that don't lead to a career path - or at least dropping the expense of degrees that lead to a career path compared to those that don't

I USED to like Florida, but I have no desire to go there now since I don't want to spend any money there.
