STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS
(Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, with his poll numbers tanking, President Biden
is trying to buy off voters with mass student loan forgiveness. While
this elitist handout may win over his radical progressive base, it is a
slap in the face to taxpayers, especially those who never went to
college or spent years paying off their own loans.
Make no mistake, blanket loan forgiveness is simply retroactive free
college.
Why should a farmer in Idaho or a construction worker in New Jersey
pay the tuition bills of an Ivy League lawyer or a wealthy doctor?
Taxpayers are already footing the bill for Biden's student loan
repayment moratorium at the cost of $5 billion every month. Now the
Biden administration wants to take hundreds of billions more for his
student loan forgiveness scam.
This is wrong and unfair.
