Bernie Sanders, a leading advocate in Congress for widespread student debt relief, has rebuked Republican lawmakers who have lambasted President Joe Biden’s proposal to cancel billions of dollars in federal student loan debt, relieving up to $20,000 in debts per borrower for millions of people.
“I don’t hear any of these Republicans squawking when we give massive tax breaks to billionaires,” the Vermont progressive senator told ABC’s This Week on 28 August, pointing to Donald Trump’s 2017 plan that slashed the corporate tax rate from from 35 per cent to 21 per cent.
