Republicans on the House education committee are marking up a bill to cap the borrowing of some student loans while preventing new debt relief.
  • House Republicans are reviewing a bill that would overhaul the student-loan system.
  • It proposes limits on the education secretary for getting new forms of relief to borrowers.
  • Democrats introduced their own package to address student debt, but it’s unlikely to advance.

    Congrats. That must be extremely relieving. I know my wife’s student debt brought her an insane amount of anxiety. We ended up rolling it into our mortgage when we refinanced. She had been paying it for over a decade and it was not paid down at all. She was debating not rolling it into our mortgage on the campaign promise of student loan forgiveness but I had zero trust that a divided congress would pass anything and was certain Republicans would do everything they could to block any unilateral attempt by Biden.
