Shownotes Transcript

Higher education in the United States is notoriously expensive, prompting many to take out student loans and accumulate thousands of dollars of debt. The Biden Administration introduced its student debt relief plan last summer, aiming to forgive up to $20,000 in debt for those who qualified. Louisana Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) reintroduced the College Transparency Act in April to provide accurate reporting on student outcomes such as enrollment, completion, and post-college earnings so students can make informed decisions about higher education. Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) explains why he feels so strongly about the bill, why he disagrees with President Biden's Student loan repayment agenda, and touches upon why manufacturing jobs are leaving the United States for China.

 

The Supreme Court has several more opinions to release before the current term ends. The remaining rulings can impact student loan repayment, change Congressional districts in several states, and determine whether or not businesses are allowed to refuse service due to their religious beliefs. The court ruled this week that encouraging illegal immigration is not covered under free speech rights and that states do not have the right to sue the Biden administration regarding their immigration enforcement guidelines. FOX News Sunday Anchor, Shannon Bream explains the implications the two rulings have for the future of immigration, previews what could come from the Supreme Court's ruling on student loan forgiveness, and reflects upon the one-year anniversary of the overturning of Roe V. Wade.
