Biden is canceling up to $10K in student loans, $20K for Pell Grant recipients:

More than two years ago, then-presidential candidate Joe Biden pledged to cancel at least $10,000 in federal student loans. The pledge has followed his administration ever since. On Wednesday, President Biden announced a sweeping effort to forgive up to $20,000 of federal student loan debt for Pell Grant recipients, and up to $10,000 for other qualifying borrowers. Biden also extended the federal student loan payment pause through Dec. 31.

About 43 million borrowers will benefit, and 20 million will have their debt completely canceled, according to a senior administration official. The White House said more than 60% of current federal student loan borrowers also received Pell Grants. "This is a slap in the face to those who never went to college, as well as borrowers who upheld their responsibility to taxpayers and paid back their loans," said Rep. Virginia Foxx of North Carolina, the top Republican on the House Education Committee, in a Tuesday night statement.

Built from an Impreza STi Type RA 16' (1 of 173) road car by Possum Bourne Motorsport, the car was completed to International Group A Specification for the Asia Pacific Rally Championship. This very car received the iconic 'ROJ' registration plate on the 22nd June 2001. Possum Bourne applied this registration to all his key rally cars in memory of his former co-driver Rodger Freeth who was sadly killed in 1993. ROJ was sent out to Japan for the Rally Hokkaido where Possum Bourne and Mark Stacey would take to the wheel. Hokkaido would be the first International FIA event held in Japan, Subaru’s home territory. Subaru and STi would be very keen for Possum to overcome the stiff competition from former and defending APRC champions Katsuhiko Taguchi and Karamjit Singh in order for Subaru to take victory on the first running of the event. Subaru’s main rivals Mitsubishi would lay on a full Ralliart Works specification Evo 6. 5 for Taguchi in hope of victory. Possum, a 3 Time Asia Pacific Rally Champion and 6 Time Australian Championship would need to rely on all his experience after a heavy rainfall left 20% of the competition out of the running after only two stages.
