Press Sec Falsely Claims Biden’s Student Loan Handout Affects ‘90%’ Of Average Americans

Biden’s student loan plan will not, in fact, provide “relief to 90% of Americans that are making less than $75,000 a year” As KJP claims.

Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre falsely claimed that the administration’s $300-900 billion student loan bailout will provide relief for “relief to 90% of Americans that are making less than $75,000 a year.”

“It’s a very targeted plan that’s going to give relief to 90% of Americans that are making less than $75,000 a year,” the most diverse and intersectional press secretary in American history claimed.

It’s unclear where Jean-Pierre sourced the claim that 90% of the population making less than $75,000 per year would be positively affected by student loan bailouts, in a country with some 330 million people and a median income of roughly $69,000 per year where less than half of the population has a college degree.

Valiant News rates Jean-Pierre’s claim as false.

In an exchange with Fox News reporter Peter Doocy this week, Jean-Pierre brought up the 90 percent number in the context of the students the handout would actually affect, and not the entire US population as she insinuated on Friday.

Jean-Pierre claimed, “If you look at what this president has done, if you look at the coming end of the fiscal year, $1.7 trillion that we brought down the deficit. That matters, and if you look at the Inflation Reduction Act, it’s going to add another $300 billion going to bring down the deficit again.”

She went on, “We are doing this responsibly. You heard directly from the president this is something that is going to be important for middle-class Americans. When you think about 90 percent of the folks who are going to actually benefit from this are making $75,000 or less, and you think about what Republicans did just a couple of years ago, they signed off on a $2 trillion tax cut for the wealthy and did not provide any way to pay for that.”
