Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) called a proposed plan by Democrats to cancel student debt is “immoral” Tuesday and said it places a burden on taxpayers who did not attend college.
“When you say #cancelstudentdebt, you’re saying a minority of people who had the advantage of obtaining a degree should have their debt paid off by hardworking taxpayers, 2/3 of whom don’t have degrees themselves, or already paid their own student debt off,” Crenshaw said. “This is immoral.”
Crenshaw’s comments came a day after Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a top-tier 2020 presidential candidate, rolled out legislation to cancel $1.6 trillion in outstanding student debt for 45 million borrowers.
