"Student Loan Forgiveness Plans Under Attack by Republicans"

House Republicans have advanced legislation to terminate President Biden's policy of cancelling student loan debt for millions of borrowers, which the government has said would cost over $400 billion. The resolution, written under the Congressional Review Act, was passed by the House Education and the Workforce Committee and now has a chance to get a vote on the House floor. Democrats warned that voting down Biden’s student loan handout would strip away relief that millions of people are anticipating, but Republicans dismissed it as a radical attempt to redistribute wealth. The matter is now in the hands of the Supreme Court, which could decide the legality of the program by the end of June.
