The SAVE plan, which applies to current and future federal student loan borrowers, will determine payments based on income and family size, and some monthly payments will be as small as $0. The income threshold to qualify for $0 payments has been increased from 150% to 225% of federal poverty guidelines, which translates to an annual income of $32,805 for a single borrower or $67,500 for a family of four. The Education Department estimates this means more than 1 million additional borrowers will qualify for $0 payments under the plan.
Some borrowers could have their payments cut in half when the program is in full effect next year and see their remaining debt canceled after making at least 10 years of payments, a significant change from previous plans.
With the new plan, unpaid interest will not accrue if a borrower makes their full monthly payments.
But the new plan does come at a cost to the federal government. Estimates of the program’s expense have varied depending on how many borrowers sign up for the new plan, but they range from $138 billion to $361 billion over 10 years. By comparison, Biden’s student loan forgiveness program was expected to cost about $400 billion.
The Education Department has created similar income-driven repayment plans in the past and has not faced a successful legal challenge, officials noted.
The beta site launch comes as borrowers will need to begin making federal student loan payments again in October after a pause of more than three years because of the pandemic.
Since the Supreme Court struck down Biden’s effort to cancel up to $20,000 of student debt for millions of borrowers, the administration has taken a number of steps aimed at helping federal student loan borrowers in other ways.
Earlier this month, the Education Department announced that 804,000 borrowers will have their student debt wiped away – about $39 billion worth of debt – after fixes that more accurately count qualified monthly payments under existing income-driven repayment plans.
The No Labels 2024 Election Threat to Trump
If the third party puts a conservative atop its ticket, it could lure Republican voters.
— Karl Rove
It isn’t only Democrats who should worry if No Labels succeeds in getting on every state’s ballot as a third party presidential option. If Donald Trump becomes the GOP nominee, Republicans should be biting their nails, too.
As I wrote last week, for Democrats the danger is that two key voting blocs—blacks and young people—aren’t very enthusiastic about President Biden and could be attracted to a third party. No Labels could also snag defectors from Hispanics, Asian-Americans and suburban voters.
The GOP has a similar problem if Mr. Trump is its nominee. A third party could provide an alternative for Republicans concerned about the former president’s baggage who can’t bring themselves to vote for a Democrat. Alternatively, No Labels could serve as a way station: GOP voters could dally with the idea of voting third-party then decide to skip the presidential race on the ballot or stay home altogether. Either way, Republicans could be in trouble in a tight race.
With more support than the rest of the field combined, Mr. Trump remains the GOP front-runner, but polling indicates that a lethal number of Republicans might not stick with him in the general election. …
… What would these disaffected Republicans do if he’s the nominee? Many would swallow their concerns and back him. But some—perhaps enough to matter—could stay home or go for the No Labels ticket, if it featured a person who is conservative in important ways, especially if that candidate is on the top of the ticket.
Assume in November 2024 that 20% of Republicans believe Mr. Trump mishandled classified information by illegally taking hundreds of secret documents when he left office, including some relating to nuclear secrets and battle plans. Assume half those Republicans—10% of the GOP universe—can’t bring themselves to vote for Mr. Trump, either casting their ballot for No Labels or not voting for president.
If 10% of Republicans defect, Mr. Trump wouldn’t flip Arizona, Georgia and Wisconsin, states he must carry to regain the White House, let alone snag Michigan or Pennsylvania. He could also lose North Carolina. …
… Mr. Trump’s tactics are complicating things for Republicans. He claims the primary is already over. But if true, he should be working to unify the party. Instead, the former president is savagely attacking his opponents and their supporters. Calling Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds ungrateful for remaining publicly neutral in her state’s caucuses is stupid. So is calling financial supporters of his Republican opponents “two-faced, back-stabbing RINOs” and denouncing them as “vultures,” “cowards” and “disloyal.” Such over-the-top rhetoric gives his campaign a crazed tone and will permanently cost Mr. Trump support among Republicans.
If on top of a criminal trial and his trash campaigning, Mr. Trump has to contend with a No Labels ticket with a Reagan Republican on it, he could see a very winnable race for the GOP turn into a very losable one.
A No Labels ticket with a traditional conservative on it could leave both parties at risk in a three-way election—even if No Labels fades, as most third parties do.
Either way, the coming contest could become the wildest ride in recent American politics.

“Chad Pergram received some pretty damning information about Hunter Biden’s former associate Devon Archer’s testimony today. Pergram is one of the few I trust with sources.
The source said adding Hunter Biden to Burisma’s board was “the brand.” Without “the brand” then Burisma would have gone under.
Just wow.”

In 2019, Joe Biden claimed, "I never discussed a single thing with my son about anything having to do with Ukraine. No one has indicated I have."
Today we learned that "Hunter then called his father, put him on speaker…and introduced the Ukrainians to Joe Biden…" pic.twitter.com/4mqt8fxqqS
3) In December 2015, Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma, and Vadym Pozharski, an executive of Burisma, placed constant pressure on Hunter Biden to get help from DC regarding the Ukrainian prosecutor, Viktor Shokin. Shokin was investigating Burisma for corruption.
5) Archer testified that Hunter Biden put then-Vice President Joe Biden on the speakerphone during business meetings, over 20 times. Archer testified that Joe Biden was put on the phone to sell “the brand.”
7) In spring of 2014, then-Vice President Joe Biden attended a business dinner with his son, Hunter, and his associates at Café Milano in DC. Elena Baturina, a Russian oligarch who is the widow of the former mayor of Moscow, attended the dinner.
Funny that I’ve never heard Rove speak out about the treatment of Trump, because he’s a stooge for the uni-party.

Devon Archer just testified that Joe Biden met with the Moscow mayor’s billionaire wife Elena Baturina in spring 2014 before she wired $3.5 million to Hunter Biden.
Baturina is the same Russian oligarch the Biden regime refused to sanction.
When Joe Biden was Vice President of the United States, he joined Hunter Biden’s dinners with his foreign business associates in person or by speakerphone over 20 times.
In fact, Devon Archer admitted that “Burisma would have gone out of business if ‘the brand’ had not been attached to it.” Because of the Bidens’ involvement, people would have been intimidated to mess with Burisma legally.
Hunter Biden, along with Zlochevsky and Pozharski, “called D.C.” to discuss the matter. Biden, Zlochevsky, and Pozharski stepped away to make the call. This raises concerns that Hunter Biden was in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

They are afraid he might actually implement a right wing populist agenda (personally I doubt it but No Labels wants certainty) Biden is a bit too left of centre for them. They’d probably be happy with Harris, Newsom, Pence, or Christie. Would a No-Labels candidate take more from Trump or Biden; I’d go with Trump. The under – 35 crowd is solidly Democrat and Biden.
The idea of Biden not running is chatter for the pundits. Unless there’s problems with his physical health, he will run. It’s no accident he’s more or less trademark the term Bidenomics. The states to watch will be Georgia, Arizona, and Pennsylvania. Others may include Nevada, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Michigan. I do think the latter two are pretty much Biden though.
Not that they want to keep him quiet or anything and we all know prison is the safest place for him right? No untimely deaths occur in that place!!
DOJ ‘Clarifies’ After Blow Up Over Prison Letter For Ex-Hunter Biden Business Partner

Devon Archer, Hunter Biden’s former business partner (L), arrives at the O’Neill House Office Building before testifying to the House Oversight Committee on Capitol Hill on July 31, 2023 in Washington,
The Department of Justice (DOJ) insisted that its prison request for Hunter Biden‘s former business partner, Devon Archer, would not affect plans for him to testify behind closed doors before a House committee on Monday.
United States Attorney Damian Williams sent a second letter to a judge in the Southern District of New York on Sunday after Republicans on the House Oversight Committee raised concerns about the timing of his first letter on Saturday, which urged the court to pick a date for Archer to begin a prison sentence
My sense is that No Labels is waiting in the wings, to see how the primary season shakes out. But yes, they believe a more centrist candidate could offer a cooling-off period for the nation which appears to be in a heated tailspin, not to mention a food fight.
Some of the mood right now resonates with 1968 in what I remember from my teen years, watching that summer as the Democratic convention had its meltdown, inside and outside the convention hall.
As for the Republicans currently, I’m not seeing how the party can win nationally with anyone as it’s so incredibly split and divided.
And if Biden bows out or is pushed out by his own party — which I still think could very possibly happen — it will be for the health and stamina reasons.
