Today, Republican Leader of the Education and Labor Committee Virginia Foxx (R-NC) slammed the Department of Education for needlessly extending pandemic-era student loan repayment delays:
“This extension does a grave disservice to borrowers across the country, and our children will pay the ultimate price for this irresponsible delay. Secretary Cardona is using the permanent pandemic narrative to wield power rather than enact responsible solutions to help borrowers get back on track. I regret that Secretary Cardona did not show real leadership by working with Congress to transition responsibly the portfolio back into repayment by Oct 1 of this year. It is nothing less than a dereliction of duty."
