Mr. Speaker, I hear a lot of hyperbole today. Of course, we understand the louder we speak, the more fear we produce in people and the more ultimate power there is over them. As chair of the Education and Workforce Committee, I am concerned, though, as young people are going to colleges and universities and trying to lift themselves up, we find another challenge that goes on with Big Government and the control through student debt. The Education and Workforce Committee's portion of the Big Beautiful Bill Act delivers the kind of accountability students need and our economy demands. The bill saves taxpayers almost $350 billion. It also streamlines loan repayment options, making it easier for borrowers to repay, while also targeting assistance to those who actually need it. By curbing excessive student loan debt and holding colleges accountable, this legislation also puts an end to colleges hiking tuition and spending recklessly. Simply put, it provides schools with the incentive to deliver real value for students and taxpayers. The American people want this. Let's support this bill and make America free.
