"Pay what you owe." It’s a simple, but important, directive. Whether it was my parents insisting I paid back the five dollars I borrowed from my brother, or my drill sergeant ensuring I completed the requisite number of pushups for an unkempt bunk, the importance of paying one’s debts was drilled into me from an early age.
Hardworking Americans would live by this advice, and our economy and communities thrived as a result.
But now, President Joe Biden’s unconstitutional decision to unilaterally "cancel" students’ debt puts the underpinning of our commercial system at serious risk. That’s why as Missouri’s Attorney General, I will head to the United States Supreme Court to oppose this illegal and harmful policy.
