Saddling Idahoans with student loan cancellation is irresponsible, unaffordable

The higher education system warrants careful review as rising tuition costs and the amount of student loans disbursed for education saddle students and graduates with financial difficulties.

Student loan relief is not free; it must be paid for in part by the overwhelming majority of Americans who do not benefit but are impacted by record-high inflation. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates all of President Biden’s student loan policies may cost taxpayers as much as $1.4 trillion.
