WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator John Boozman (R-AR) released the following statement following the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on the president’s student loan cancelation overreach.
“I’m pleased the Supreme Court overturned this attempt to bail out likely high-income earners at the expense of taxpayers who never went to college and those who fulfilled their obligation to pay off their debt. This reckless plan wasn’t authorized by Congress, but the solution to higher education affordability must include the legislative branch. I support legislation that increases access to college opportunities without excessive financial burdens.”
Boozman supported a Congressional Review Act resolution to overturn the president’s student debt cancelation earlier this month. In February, Boozman joined Republican senators in filling an amicus brief to the Supreme Court challenging the Biden administration’s student loan cancelation program.
