Cardona, who condemned the Supreme Court’s ruling as detrimental to students and families nationwide, presented a scathing critique of the GOP. In his statement, he expressed his disbelief at Republicans in Congress and state offices who vehemently opposed a program that would have greatly benefited their own constituents.
He highlighted their hypocrisy by pointing out their eagerness to provide massive tax cuts to big corporations and the wealthy, while simultaneously accepting millions of dollars in forgiven pandemic loans. Taking aim at specific individuals, Cardona called out Sen. Markwayne Mullin for obtaining Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans during the pandemic, only to have over $1.4 million of the debt forgiven. He emphasized that Mullin represents 489,000 eligible borrowers who were denied similar relief.
Cardona also singled out Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rep. Brett Guthrie, who both had substantial portions of their PPP loans forgiven. Greene represents 91,800 student borrowers who would have been eligible for debt forgiveness under President Biden’s plan, while Guthrie represents 90,000 eligible student borrowers with over $4.4 million in forgiven loans.
Undeterred, Cardona pledged his unwavering support to President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in their pursuit of college loan relief for student borrowers. He emphasized the importance of ensuring that a college education does not become an insurmountable burden, hindering individuals from seizing opportunities.
