Johnson's Kids Success Act Examines Continued School Closure Impact on Vulnerable Students
Rep. Dusty Johnson
March 10, 2021
Tweet - "The $1.9 trillion bill being billed by Dems as "COVID relief" is a bad bill. Sadly, it will likely become law -- without any meaningful input/support from Republicans or the millions of Americans we represent. @SenateGOP even tried to improve the bill. Some changes Dems rejected:"
Sen. John Thune
Feb. 24, 2021
Student Loan Debt
Sen. John Thune
Feb. 23, 2021
Tweet - "Non-partisan Congressional Budget Office says that 95% of the money allocated to schools in the Democrats" $1.9 trillion partisan spending bill wouldn't be given to schools until 2022-2028. Hardly seems like you can call that "emergency funding.""
Sen. John Thune
Feb. 5, 2021
Tweet - "Yes, college grads often trade in their cap & gown for debt & uncertainty, but there are more responsible ways to help. My proposal, which allows employers to help employees pay off student loans tax-free, became law the old fashioned way -- with bipartisan support in Congress."
Sen. John Thune
Feb. 4, 2021
Tweet - "Senate Dems aren't siding with teachers or students, they're siding with unions (who hold the purse strings). Study after study has shown that kids need to be back in school ASAP."
