End loan forgiveness and expect borrowers to repay

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, chapter 11, p. 322. Written by Lindsey M. Burke.

End loan forgiveness and expect borrowers to repay

What the document says

“Borrowers should be expected to repay their loans.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 322

The chapter says the Administration must end what it calls the practice of treating the federal student loan portfolio as a campaign fund to curry political support, and must end abuses in the loan forgiveness programs. It separately asks that existing income-driven repayment plans be phased out and replaced with a single plan exempting income up to the poverty line and requiring payments of 10 percent above it.

What the document actually says

“Borrowers should be expected to repay their loans.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 322
That sentence, in plain words

People who borrow should be expected to pay it back.

What this is about

Students borrow money for college. Some plans cancel part of the debt. The book says that should stop. It says borrowers should repay.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
