President Joe Biden faces yet another hurdle as he seeks a $400 billion student debt transfer — congressional Republicans.
A host of GOP lawmakers are looking to claw back both Biden’s student loans cancellation plan and the payment pause he’s extended through the end of August, arguing they are unilateral, unlawful, and unwise.
“President Biden is not forgiving debt, he is shifting the burden of student loans off of the borrowers who willingly took on their debt and placing it onto those who chose to not go to college or already fulfilled their commitment to pay off their loans,” said Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), ranking member of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. “It is extremely unfair to punish these Americans, forcing them to pay the bill for these irresponsible and unfair student loan schemes.”
