"Working and middle-class Americans who chose not to go to college, or who responsibly paid off their student loans, should not be forced to pay off the loans of others,” Lindsey Burke, director of the Center for Education Policy at The Heritage Foundation, and Adam Kissel, Heritage visiting fellow for higher education, said in a joint statement.
American taxpayers will be forced to pick up the tab for those who have earned degrees and statistically make more money on average than those who are not college graduates.
Colleges and universities are also expected to raise tuition costs in light of the forgiveness plan.
