Hi, my name is Kyle J. Critchlow from Salt Lake City, Utah.

I'm a student at the University of Utah, and I just wanted to voice my support for the

student loan forgiveness plan proposed by President Biden.

If I'm understanding it correctly, I would qualify for the full $20,000 student

loan forgiveness, which would virtually eliminate all of my student

loans. For me and my husband, this ability for us to put $20,000 into a savings account for us

to hopefully start to be surrogacy process, And that really is life-changing for us.

So thank you, President Biden, for giving us the ability to literally hope to one day start a family.

Those are some of the voices of LA Times listeners and readers who called in to give us their take on

President Joe Biden's announcement last week about his long-anticipated student debt relief plan.

The burden is so heavy that even if you graduate, you may not have access to the middle-class

life that the college degree once provided.

This is a promise Biden campaigned on it that many Democrats have been pushing for years.

It helps both current and future borrowers and will fix a badly broken system.

At least, 20 million Americans who attended college could have their debt completely canceled under Biden's announcement.

And if you're one of those folks,

hey, this may be your time to pour one out for yourself.

Cheers to you.

But the move is unsurprisingly stirring debate

among the right and the left,

but for completely different reasons.

And just before the midterms.
