Last month, a federal judge blocked the Biden administration-era SAVE plan, an income-driven student loan replacement program with 8 million borrowers, claiming it lacked the authority to forgive millions of dollars in debt.

Try again. It’s the 4th paragraph.
Maybe cause of the 5trilion the US market has lost?
I don’t see the connection between the stock market falling and student loans being more expensive.

The fact that it’s bad doesn’t make it impossible.

FTFY
