最新报道:Former President Donald Trump unveiled a new "big and beautiful" student loan bill proposing sweeping changes to federal repayment programs. The plan includes capping monthly payments at 12.5% of discretionary income and forgiving remaining balances after 15 years for undergraduate loans (down from 20 years currently). Trump criticized existing programs as "too complicated" and promised his simplified system would save borrowers thousands. The proposal faces an uphill battle in Congress, with Democrats calling it insufficient and some Republicans concerned about costs. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos praised the plan as "common sense reform" that protects taxpayers while helping borrowers. Analysts estimate the changes could reduce government student loan revenue by $15 billion annually if implemented.
