It would appear that taxpayers will be on the hook for the additional payment that is added to the deficit until the White House comes up with a fresh strategy to address the situation.
The White House has remained silent over the question of whether or not further tax hikes will be required to pay for President Biden’s plan to cancel between $10,000 and $20,000 in student debt for some Americans. This proposal might end up costing more than $500 billion.
The administration has not yet explained how the initiative would be supported in the long run, despite its launch earlier this week. The present proposal calls for the government to repudiate the debt, leaving taxpayers on the hook for the majority of the principal and interest payments. This would add to the existing debt of the United States, which is already over $31 trillion.

The News God has been in frequent contact with the White House, asking if President Joe Biden’s administration has any intentions of raising taxes soon to pay for student debt relief. On Sunday, a spokeswoman reacted to the criticism by citing statements made on Friday by Bharat Ramamurti, deputy director of the National Economic Council. Ramamurti asserted that the proposal is “completely paid for” through deficit savings.
According to Ramamurti, the deficit reduction that we intend to achieve this year will cover it in full and then some. “To summarize, we are on track to meet our yearly deficit reduction goal of $1.7 trillion and are confident that we will do so. To put it another way, the federal government of the United States is predicted to collect around $1.7 trillion more in income than it will spend during the current fiscal year. Furthermore, we are giving a portion of that money to help middle-class families through the President’s program.
