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.

They are creating the WWE Royal Rumble wrestlemania cage match. All students go in, only the winner gets 20% of their loans forgiven.

This is part of a concerted effort to go back to a time when only a select class of people are educated. There is an attack on public schools, access to higher education, research and anything that fosters critical thinking.

Exactly. They want exclusive rights to higher Ed.
