Mr. Speaker, the Biden administration is canceling massive amounts of student debt. Many borrowers have seen thousands of dollars of debt canceled through Biden's actions, and that is just the start. The administration is getting ready to hand out more money courtesy of taxpayers. So, for the two-thirds of Americans who never earned a degree, where is your money? Where is the money for the construction worker in North Carolina or the stay-at-home mom in Tennessee? Why should these Americans pay for someone else's degree when they never went to college? You know who is getting the money, though? Doctors, lawyers, and graduate students. Many of these borrowers will receive $100,000 or more. It is unfair for taxpayers to pay the debts of lawyers and doctors who earn six figures. By appeasing the progressives, President Biden is throwing the middle class under the bus. ____________________
