Ms. BALINT. Mr. Speaker, as a former teacher, I know that education can be and should be a pathway to financial freedom. For over 45 million Americans facing crippling student debt, education has become an unsustainable economic burden.

Student debt is keeping Americans from buying homes, starting families, and saving for their futures. It is holding back a generation from getting the education that they need, that they want, and that they deserve. This impacts all of us. Our education suffers because of this debt. Our economy suffers, our families suffer, and our children suffer.

President Biden's student debt relief plan will change lives and open doors for so many working families.

It is urgent that the Supreme Court uphold this critical program that will free millions of Americans from this heavy financial burden. So today I call on the Supreme Court to support President Biden's plan and make the historic step in making higher education attainable for everyone in this country.
