WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman Nick Langworthy (NY-23) recently voiced his strong opposition to President Biden's student loan forgiveness plan during a speech on the House floor.
In his address, Langworthy criticized the plan, referring to it as a "$1.2 billion student loan redistribution scam" that incentivizes universities to raise costs. He highlighted the impact of this policy on hardworking Americans, stating that it adds further financial burden to families already struggling with inflation.
Langworthy emphasized the principle of personal responsibility, stating, "if you take out a loan for your education, you commit to paying it back." He argued that the plan undermines the efforts of individuals who built their careers without higher education or who worked hard to repay their student loans.
Calling for a focus on policies that support economic growth and opportunity, Langworthy urged President Biden to collaborate with House Republicans on solutions that promote prosperity for all Americans, irrespective of their educational backgrounds.
The congressman's impassioned plea reflects a broader debate surrounding student loan forgiveness and government intervention in higher education financing.
