Cassidy Talks Student Loan Reform at AEI Event

Statement

"It's important to point out that the Biden administration is not forgiving debt. They're just transferring the responsibility to pay it back from those who willingly took on the loan to those who either paid back their student loans or who never took the loan in the first place. So they are transferring this debt to the people I represent, again, who couldn't afford to go to college or chose not to, and now are working good jobs…And I just think it's incredibly unfair to all of the Americans to whom the debt is being transferred.

[Our package] sets out to make the young person an informed consumer as to what is the best place for he or she to get their education. Not just the school, but the curriculum. So we're on the front end all the way through the process at the back end, trying to correct the underlying factors that that have created, what you asked about in your first question, the precedent for the crisis to begin."
