It is great but as long as new debt will be immediately acrued by current students this is just a temporary fix. Or is there anything planned how to deal with that?
It’s a new payment plan, so applies to new student debt as well.
If I’m reading the StudentAid.gov correctly, the SAVE plan has the following:

Oh yes, let's never do anything good, because there might be something else even more impossible that would be better.
The point being made is that it’s infuriating to watch “good” politicians half-ass policies that, if more thoroughly implemented, would be life-changingly positive for an enormous swath of our citizenry.
Biden is doing what he can with what he has. He could have just said "welp, we tried" when the Supreme Court struck down his last attempt. Hell, it's what I expected him to do because he's a Democrat.
He's trying again. We need more of that.
Guess it's fuck me then. Biden not getting my vote fuck him. This probably get blocked too and he knows it. Cancel it all our fuck off.
Cool, the next rethuglican president will probably work out way better for you.

Debt forgiveness occurs after 10 years in an income-driven repayment plan (down from 20-25 years). Payments in these plans is now capped at 5% of discretionary income (down from 10%). Unspecified improvements to tracking progress towards loan forgiveness (historically this has been done by the company servicing the loan, and they are beyond awful at it, so this might just be not relying on them for this decision anymore).
