Congressional Review Act resolution to block the Department of Education rule relating to “Waivers and Modifications of Federal Student Loans”

May. 24, 2023 | H.J. Res. 45

This resolution aimed at overturning President Biden’s student debt relief program would have denied relief from a broken student loan system to 43 million individuals. Ninety percent of the beneficiaries of Biden’s program earn less than $75,000 a year. 

This is Bad for working people.
