WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Troy A. Carter, Sr. (D-La.) released the following statement in response to United States Supreme Court’s decisions ruling on student loan forgiveness:

“Since my first days in Congress, I have made student debt relief a top priority. One of my first bills was to get rid of up to $50,000 in federal student loan debt for every borrower. Working Americans are counting on this critical debt relief as we continue to grow our economy. I am disappointed by today’s decision that will limit the ability of many to purchase a home, start a business, and spend extra money in local economies. Putting crippling debt back on the American people after they were finally able to plan their lives without it is cruel and un-American. The federal government regularly forgives the debt of businesses, industries, and even small countries. Our students deserve the same.”
