Washington, December 17 (RHC)-- Activists and a number of Democratic lawmakers are urging President Biden to reconsider his decision to restart federal student loan payments in February.  The loans were suspended for nearly two years due to the pandemic. 

A growing number of Democrats have backed debt cancellation of up to $50,000 per borrower.  California Congressmember Ro Khanna said failing to act on student loans could harm Democrats in the midterms, and tweeted: “Resuming student loan payments … could hurt our economic recovery and the effectiveness of the American Rescue Plan.  Canceling student loan debt for the working and middle class isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s good policy.”
