Bobby Scott: “Congress has a responsibility to explore innovative strategies that provide more students the support they need to…”

The repeal represents the federal government walking away from that responsibility, which jeopardizes the hard-fought progress we have made.

The sweeping changes to the federal student loan system originating from that law are compounding the issues that have risen from the dismantling of the Education Department.

Will actually contribute to the creation of miles of bureaucratic red tape, inconsistent education policy and enforcement across the federal government and a significant waste of the taxpayers’ money.

Codifying this new system without assessing its effectiveness just doesn’t make any sense.
