Student Debt Relief, Round Two

The plan would expand Public Service Loan Forgiveness, cancel remaining balances for borrowers in repayment 20+ years, and cap monthly payments at a lower share of income. The price tag is in the hundreds of billions.

Republican Corner · GOP

Cancel the Debt

Don't make the welder pay for the gender-studies grad

Mass forgiveness is unfair to people who paid their loans, didn't go to college, or chose cheaper schools. It also lets universities keep raising prices forever.

Fairness

Why should taxpayers without degrees subsidize debts taken on voluntarily, often for expensive private schools?

Tuition Inflation

Bailouts signal to universities that they can keep raising prices because the government will pick up the tab.

Constitutional Limits

Courts have already pushed back on broad executive-branch cancellation. Congress, not a stroke of the pen, should set this policy.

Personal Responsibility

We trapped a generation — let them out

An entire generation was told college was the only path, then handed predatory loans for a system that priced itself out of reach. Targeted relief is overdue economic justice.

Predatory System

Interest capitalization and decades of bad servicing left millions owing more than they originally borrowed despite years of payments.

Public-Service Promise

PSLF was sold to teachers, nurses, and first responders. Most who qualified were rejected on technicalities — fixing that is honoring a contract.

Economic Lift

Reducing debt frees borrowers to buy homes, start businesses, and have kids — all of which the broader economy needs.
