Rep. Kelly Addresses Rising Cost of Higher Education, Student Debt at Ways & Means Oversight Hearing

Press Release

U.S. Representative Mike Kelly (R-PA) -- a member of the House Ways and Means Committee -- participated in this morning's hearing by the Subcommittee on Oversight on the rising costs of higher education, federal student loan debt, and related tax policy.

"This is about, "Are we getting the best return on the investment for hardworking American taxpayers?' … And I think this is where we're really trying to come to: the best return on investment. Because we all know the way out of poverty is education, but [it should be an] education for something that actually gets you to where you need to go and not just a degree that's accompanied with a lot of debt … a destination that you can reach that's going to lift you out of [poverty]."
