The law prohibits education loans from being discharged through bankruptcy. It should be repealed to provide relief.

The failure of the Biden plan misdirects us from the root problem: It’s not that student loan borrowers need debt relief; it’s that they merit a debt discharge.

Every honest, unfortunate debtor has the constitutional right to a fresh start. That is, the right to discharge their debts, if overwhelming, through bankruptcy proceedings. But student loan borrowers were condemned to “involuntary servitude” when Joe Biden, while still a senator, led Congress to enact the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA) in 2005.
