Biden’s student loan help would be ‘annihilated’ by GOP bill

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 02:25:24 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden’s student loan agenda would be all but obliterated by the U.S. debt legislation passed by House Republicans, dooming his mass cancellation s, scrapping a more generous loan repayment option and permanently barring future regulation around student debt.Republicans see it as a victory for taxpayers. Democrats say it would hurt the economy and block college students who need financial aid.The GOP bill would cancel both of Biden’s marquee student debt proposals: a one-time cancellation of up to $20,000 for more than 40 million Americans, and an updated loan repayment plan that could slash monthly payments for millions.It would also lift a pause on federal student loan payments, forcing borrowers into repayment sooner than planned.On the House floor Wednesday, Republican Rep. Virginia Foxx, chairwoman of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, said Biden’s plan for student debt was an obvious target as the government reins in spending.Wit...
