Washington, D.C.— U.S. Senator Ron Wyden, D-Ore., released the following statement on the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down President Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan:
“Once again, the far-right extremist Supreme Court has decided to radically alter people’s lives for the worse and this time it’s chosen to shackle millions of working-class borrowers in financial handcuffs. By throwing student loan forgiveness out the window, Americans will now be sadly forced to make hard decisions between paying off their student loans and putting food on the table. Shame on the Supreme Court.
“I will continue to fight tooth and nail in the Senate to get working class Americans the financial relief they need. A college education should be affordable and accessible to everyone.”
