Senator Warren: Fight Must Continue To Make College Affordable

Senator Elizabeth Warren has been calling for President Biden to cancel student loan debt, and yesterday she got her wish. Warren says Biden's historic action will allow around 27 million borrowers to eliminate 20-thousand-dollars in debt from student loans.

“This action, along with the pause on federal student loan payments, interest, and collections will improve borrowers’ economic security, allowing them to invest in their families, save for emergencies, and pay down other debt. In addition, we are pleased to see the President’s proposed work towards greatly simplifying and expanding access to student loan relief programs, including the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, and look forward to additional improvements to other programs like Income Driven Repayment, which will also allow millions more student loan borrowers to better access existing programs to reduce their student loan debts.

“No president or Congress has done more to relieve the burden of student debt and help millions of Americans make ends meet. Make no mistake, the work – our work – will continue as we pursue every available path to address the student debt crisis, help close the racial wealth gap for borrowers, and keep our economy growing.”

She says the order will completely wipe out the college loans for 20 million Americans. Warren says she will continue to fight to make sure higher education and technical schools are within reach for all families.

Republicans say that the program is just a ploy to get votes from young voters during the mid term elections.
