"DeSantis Proposes Shifting Student Loan Responsibility from Taxpayers to Universities"
Ron DeSantis, a Republican candidate for president, called for universities to be responsible for student loans instead of taxpayers, in response to President Biden's forgiveness of an additional $4.8 billion in student debt. DeSantis aims to lower inflation and interest rates by vetoing certain measures if elected. Biden's move to forgive student debt comes after the Supreme Court struck down his plan to cancel $400 billion in debt in June. DeSantis and fellow Republicans criticized Biden's loan forgiveness, arguing that it unfairly burdens taxpayers. The debate also touched on other topics, including abortion and climate change.
