Congressman Maxwell Frost: “Student Loan Forgiveness is Legal, Packed Court Discriminating Against Working Americans”

ORLANDO, FL — Today, Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost (FL-10) released a statement slamming the United State Supreme Court’s decision to strike down President Biden’s student loan forgiveness program.

In a statement, Rep. Frost says:

 “Once again, today the conservative-leaning Supreme Court has gotten it wrong and actively chosen to discriminate against working Americans and student borrowers.

“We cannot and will allow a corrupt court to tell the people of our nation that only wealthy children should have the opportunity to get their education without going into crushing debt, as they have done this week.

“President Biden’s student loan forgiveness program is legal, this Court’s inability to see that underscores SCOTUS’ intent to prop up systems of oppression that have kept education out of reach for onlypoor people.

“This ruling cannot mark the end of President Biden’s promise to the nearly 40 million Americans counting on this relief. The President and his Administration have many tools at their disposal to helpborrowers, and I will fight to ensure we act swiftly.”
