TOMORROW: Cassidy to Headline AEI Event on Student Loans
WASHINGTON – Tomorrow, September 27th, U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA), ranking member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, will headline an event on Capitol Hill hosted by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) to discuss his groundbreaking Lowering Education Costs and Debt Act, a package of five bills aimed at directly addressing the issues driving the skyrocketing cost of higher education and the increasing amounts of debt students take on to attend school.
Cassidy will also discuss President Biden’s student loan schemes including the new IDR rule, which allows a majority of bachelor’s degree student loan borrowers to not pay back even the principal on their loans, costing taxpayers as much as $559 billion. This month, Cassidy introduced a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to overturn Biden’s new IDR policy.
