The Biden administration has moved to forgive about $4.7 billion in U.S. loans to Ukraine, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said on Wednesday, as outgoing officials seek to do what they can before leaving office to bolster Ukraine in its war against Russia.
A funding bill passed by the U.S. Congress in April included just over $9.4 billion of forgivable loans for economic and budgetary support to Ukraine's government, half of which the president could cancel after Nov. 15. The bill appropriated a total of $61 billion to help Ukraine fight the full-scale invasion Moscow launched in February 2022.

Only $86 billion has been actually disbursed.
The $130bn is just "obligated".
I wonder how much Student Loan debt increased during the same time period?

Biden was in hibernation until the elections, but Trump has apparently awakened his Chakras and now he is really working hard to leave his mark.
This one is especially good since it will upset both bankrupt leftoids with useless degrees and anti-Ukraine chuds.

I mean he did try to forgive student loans way before the election, but it was always half assed and always only for Federal Student Loans.
Rich people have private student loans so didn't help us at all.

Soviets paid like 1 billion dollars (1940s dollars) for the lend lease stuff, it just took them a long time to finish paying it
the whole idea of lend lease is that anything destroyed in combat (aka most of it) doesn't require payment and they return anything they didnt pay for it, which they mostly did
after the war the US had fields and fields of planes after WW2 that were just scrapped anyway

I unironically agree with student loan forgiveness but only for attractive women.
There are so many girls I go on dates with but are basically impossible to marry because they are 280k in the red due to their social work degree that they got from a private school (and some of them want to go back for their masters).
