Republicans on the House education committee are marking up a bill to cap the borrowing of some student loans while preventing new debt relief.
  • House Republicans are reviewing a bill that would overhaul the student-loan system.
  • It proposes limits on the education secretary for getting new forms of relief to borrowers.
  • Democrats introduced their own package to address student debt, but it’s unlikely to advance.

    Just a reminder: the person driving this effort is Virginia Foxx. You may remember her from HR 1313 which was a bill she pushed for that would allow health insurance companies access to your DNA to change your premiums. Where did she get this wonderfully dystopian plan? The health insurance companies setup a lobby/thinktank specifically to advance this bill and made contributions to her PAC. If it had passed it would have hollowed out GINA by allowing employers to terminate based solely on possible hirer premiums.
