In reply to the discussion: How Biden helped create the student debt problem he now promises to fix [View all]3Hotdogs
(12,358 posts)26. The push for eliminating bankruptcy for student loans, came in response to the complaint,
students were signing for the debts, then going bankrupt.
I don't know how many graduates filed for bankruptcy, but it doubt it was many.
Biden was also responsible for the law that allowed credit card issuers to charge whatever interest the market would bear. Before that legislation was passed, there was a ceiling on interest.
You also were able to deduct credit card interest in your tax forms.
