Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), the ranking member of the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, and 16 of his Senate Republican colleagues are backing a resolution under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to disapprove of President Joe Biden’s proposed Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) college loan bailout plan.
“Once again, Biden’s newest student loan scheme only shifts the burden from those who chose to take out loans to those who decided not to go to college, paid their way, or already responsibly paid off their loans,” Mr. Cassidy said in a statement. “Our resolution protects the 87 percent of Americans who don’t have student debt and will be forced to shoulder the burden of the President’s irresponsible and unfair policy.”
