PUNTA GORDA, Fla.–President Joe Biden’s expansive student loan forgiveness plan drew a pointed response from Gov. Ron DeSantis, who declared that the Universities graduating students with “worthless” degrees should be held responsible for the debt, not the American taxpayers.
“They’re (universities) producing people that have gone deep into debt, and their degree is not worth anything. They’re not able to make enough money to pay it back, then that’s on them,” DeSantis said at a press event on Aug. 25. “They’ve had an incentive to get more and more loans taken out, and then put it in their pocket.”
