Obama's new plan for IBR. (or is it?)
Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2011 1:08 pm
Obama is set to announce today that IBR will decrease to 10% of discretionary income (down from 15%), and loan forgiveness after 20 years (originally 25). Above the Law had a piece that was supposed to happen in 2014 anyways (as part of the debt deal several months back). How Obama plans on doing this without Congressional approval I have no idea, but either way, what do people think of this plan?
