"Buddy" Carter | C001103 | buddycarter.house.gov | buddycarter | https://buddycarter.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following President Biden’s announcement that he is using taxpayer dollars to pay off up to $20,000 in student loans per borrower, Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) delivered the following statement: “Woke universities don’t need $300 billion in taxpayer dollars, especially when they continue to raise tuition even as the value of a four-year degree declines. Workers are being crushed by inflation, and instead of helping the lowest 10% of income earners, Biden is throwing taxpayer dollars at the highest 10%. This is one of the worst dollar-for-dollar investments we could possibly make in our country,” said Carter. He also emphasized that when Washington Democrats say “free,” they mean “taxpayer-funded.” “There is no such thing as a free lunch. We need to address the root causes of the rising cost of tuition, not subsidize the wealthy’s education on middle America’s dime,” said Carter. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:59:24Z |
