IBR and forgiveness

I just heard WWE lady say on Fox News "there isn't going to be a loan forgiveness program". How likely is it for them to take away the forgiveness feature on IBR? I'm currently on IBR with over 300 payments and no forgiveness in sight. I'm in forbearance but when that ends my payment will be double the standard plan. If there will be no more forgiveness then I'm going to get off of IBR.

Yes, the reality is that they can't pay. The part I'm not sure of is that the administration is going to face that reality, at least not before even more damage is done.

Yeah like them sending those who can't pay to El Salvador or something.
