This action is particularly insulting to Wisconsinites who, per borrower, have among the lowest amount of student loan debt in the country, meaning our tax dollars will pay off the student loans of people in other states disproportionately. The price of a college degree has become unattainable for many Americans. Instead of addressing soaring tuition and the root causes of education becoming more costly, this move simply shifts the burden of $300 billion in debt onto the American taxpayer. This is the latest attempt by the Biden administration to appease coastal progressives, as the prime beneficiaries of this decision fall in the top 60 percent of income earners, not the working class as they have advertised, said Congressman Fitzgerald." ### Congressman Scott Fitzgerald was sworn in to the 117th Congress on January 3, 2021 and is proud to represent Wisconsin’s Fifth Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:59:24Z |
