This is really turning into quite a tournament. Probably one of the better golf tournaments I've seen in a long, long time.

College Loans

Update here (nothing new).

I've lost the bubble on this, but if I understand this correctly, there are two college loan issues:

• interest payments on existing federal loans pause / to resume
• federal loan forgiveness, $10,000 (federal loan) to $20,000 (Pell grant)

Known: interest on loans:

• interest payments on federal loans will resume in October, 2023
• interest starts to accrue again in September, 2023
  

Still unknown: full loan/partial loan forgiveness:

• US Supreme Court decision within next month or so
• to decide whether a presidential executive order to grant loan forgiveness is constitutional
• the "betting" is that the US House of Representatives holds the strings to the purse, not the president,
• if so, the President cannot unilaterally cancel federal loans

Regarding interest payments on existing loans:

• first link: Insider: June 15, 2023: interest starts to accrue again in September, 2023; "first" payments begin again, Octobdr, 2023.
• second link, Forbes: May 15, 2023: at that time, still not know when interest payments would resume.

Regarding loan forgiveness, $10,000 to $20,000, US Supreme Court case

• one link, Newsweek: June 15, 2023
  
• it's a political issue
• it's a money issue
• it's a "fairness" issue
• if it's a constitutional issue -- it was not addressed at the Newsweek link, except in passing.
  
• for me, it seems fairly straightforward.

How many affected:

• 20 million students would have their loans erased in their entirety;
• 20 million students would have their loans lowered.
