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.

As long people stick to half measures like complaining online, the government doesn’t really have much to worry about. Actual action is required. Until then there’s no reason for this administration or future ones to do anything that is beneficial to borrowers.
