Rep. Burgess Owens to lead congressional hearing on ‘unlawful’ student loan forgiveness program

Utah’s Rep. Burgess Owens will chair a congressional hearing on the Biden administration’s student loan forgiveness plan later this week.
The program, which cancels up to $20,000 of student loan debt for tens of millions of borrowers, is currently on hold pending a ruling from the Supreme Court.
When the GOP took control of the House following the 2022 midterms, Owens was tapped to chair the Subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce Development. He has titled Thursday’s hearing “Breaking the System: Examining the Implications of Biden’s Student Loan Policies for Students and Taxpayers.”
Owens highlighted the upcoming hearing on social media Monday afternoon.
“We are holding hearings to examine Joe Biden’s unlawful executive action to transfer hundreds of billions of dollars in student debt onto the American taxpayer,” Owens tweeted from his personal account.
In a press release, Owens telegraphed how the hearing would play out, arguing that President Joe Biden has no authority to cancel student debt unilaterally.
“Debt cannot be canceled, only transferred from those who borrowed to those who did not,” Owens said. “Creating an offramp for responsibility, driving up college costs, disincentivizing real loan reform, and forcing hard-working American taxpayers to pay for someone else’s loans is nothing more than a backdoor attempt at free college with abysmal implications for students, taxpayers, and our economy.”
Now in his second term as a member of Congress, Owens has been one of the most vocal opponents of student loan forgiveness among Utah’s delegation in Washington. When President Joe Biden first announced the program last summer, Owens said it was unconstitutional and would “aggravate inflation and add $60 billion to our country’s deficit.” When a legal challenge to the policy was elevated to the Supreme Court, Owens signed on to an amicus brief urging the program be overturned.
During his first campaign in 2020, Owens was dogged by claims that he had filed for bankruptcy protection multiple times. Federal court records show Owens filed for bankruptcy five times. In 1991, Owens filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in New York. No court documents were available for this claim. In 2005, Owens again filed for Chapter 7 protection in Pennsylvania with creditors claiming $1.7 million in debts owed. The case was discharged in 2005 after over $200,000 was paid. The remaining three Chapter 13 filings by Owens were dismissed.
Owens does appear to have some skin in the game on the student loan issue. On his latest personal financial disclosure, Owens lists a student loan taken out in 2001 for his daughter to attend Syracuse University. Owens says the balance on the loan is between $50,000 and $100,000.
Owens’ office did not respond to questions about his daughter’s student loan or his previous bankruptcies.
Owens is not alone among Utah’s congressional delegation opposed to student loan forgiveness. Last year, Sen. Mitt Romney called the proposed debt cancellation a “bribe,” while Sen. Mike Lee suggested the move was a politically motivated giveaway.
Earlier this year, Lee and Romney were among 40 Republicans in the Senate who filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court supporting the legal challenge to Biden’s student debt relief plan.

What exactly could he have done that he didn't already do when the Repubs held it up in court?
Don't disagree with anything you said.
Fuck Betsy Devos!
Yup. He was a mason and the reason why he told Benjamin Banneker to design DC(outside of the fact Benjamin Banneker came from royal lineage).

House GOP debt limit plan would block Biden’s student loan agenda, prohibit future relief
McCarthy says it aims to repeal Biden's unfair student loan forgiveness "for the wealthy."House GOP debt limit plan would block Biden’s student loan agenda, prohibit future relief
The legislation would also bar the Biden administration from moving forward with a new income-driven repayment plan that cuts monthly payments for most borrowers and shortens the timeline to loan forgiveness for some borrowers.
White House calls GOP effort to block student debt relief ‘unfortunate’
In addition, the GOP plan would permanently prohibit the Education Department from issuing any significant regulation or executive action that would increase the long-term cost to the government of operating the federal student loan programs.
Such a sweeping prohibition would imperil efforts by the administration to provide additional relief or benefits to student loan borrowers. That would include any backup option for canceling large amounts of student debt if the Supreme Court rejects Biden’s student debt relief plan in the coming months.
Key context: The provisions are among dozens of policy changes and spending caps that House Republicans included in their 320-page legislation to raise the debt limit by $1.5 trillion or until March of next year, whichever comes first.
Republicans have argued that they want concessions from the administration that lower the federal deficit and reduce spending in exchange for their votes to raise the nation’s borrowing limit.
'I'm not there yet': Lawmakers react to McCarthy's debt ceiling plan
McCarthy said he hopes to pass it in the House next week. But the proposal stands no chance of passing the Democrat-controlled Senate.
Biden swiftly dismissed McCarthy’s proposal as a nonstarter. “That’s the MAGA economic agenda: spending cuts for working and middle class folks,” Biden said of the plan on Wednesday. “It’s not about fiscal discipline, it’s about cutting benefits for folks that they don’t seem to care much about.”
