"As someone who's paying off my own family’s student loans, I know the costs of higher education are too high," Ryan said. "And while there's no doubt that a college education should be about opening opportunities, waiving debt for those already on a trajectory to financial security sends the wrong message to the millions of Ohioans without a degree working just as hard to make ends meet."
Ryan, who will face off against Ohio GOP Senate nominee JD Vance in November, insisted the president should instead be working to "level the playing field" for all Americans, instead of providing handouts to "six-figure earners," so that those invested in the workforce and trade-based industries will also have a "shot at success."
