Q: celebrating bipartisan debt Bill but squashing bipartisan student loans Bill, transfer debt to taxpayers
On 6/2/2023, Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “
As the President is celebrating this bipartisan win on the debt deal, he is squashing the bipartisan bill on student loans. Why does he accept the will of the people in one area but ignore the will of the people when it seeks to block the transfer of this debt to the taxpayers?

KJP: I don’t think protecting American families or making sure that we give them a little bit of a breathing room is going against the will of the American people … and also, his plan is actually very popular with Americans.

Q: forgiveness plan = executive order; Rejecting forgiveness = cleared both chambers A: to veto
Heinrich: Just process-wise, I mean, his forgiveness plan was done by executive order. Even the payment pause was done through an emergency statute. But the debt bill that mandates restarting payments got votes from Congress to pass. This bill, you know, rejecting the forgiveness program, cleared both chambers and is heading to the President’s desk. I mean, how — how do you argue with that, that it — this is clearly what people want to see happen?

KJP: So, look, you’re talking about debt relief that would have been — that would have made 40 million people eligible who are borrowers. Forty million people … I think that’s important for the President to be — to protect — to protect the student loan relief plan — right? — as he did during these budget negotiations. And he’s going to veto this resolution that — as you just stated, that has passed, because it is not the right thing to do … That matters. And it’s a popular plan as well.

Q: Manchin supported overturning student loan forgiveness A: Biden going to veto it
Reporter: the Republicans were able to pass a bill in the Senate that overturns the President’s student loan plan. What does it say that Democrats, such as John Tester and Joe Manchin, supported overturning that bill? And do you have a timetable on a veto?

KJP: So, again, it has to come to us. The President, clearly, is going to veto this bill. What I can say is — I think what’s important here is — I’m not going to speak directly to how members — senators voted on this. But I will say, and I said this a few times, this is a — this is — this is — when you think about the students — the student relief program, this is going to give Americans a little bit of breathing room … And — and, you know, if this bill gets to his desk, as I just mentioned, he’s going to veto it. And so, look …

Q: unemployment did jump by fairly surprising margin A: because of the way jobs were categorized
Reporter: You mentioned the historically low unemployment, below 4 percent for such a long time. But unemployment did jump last month by a fairly surprising margin: from 3.4 percent to 3.7 percent. Does the White House have a view on why that might be and why unemployment among Black workers jumped by almost a full percentage point?

KJP: So, it’s a bit complicated. I’ve asked the economist about this here. And — but those numbers come from different surveys, so that’s important to note. The number of jobs created is from a business survey that — that came out. But the unemployment rate is from a survey of households. Our economic experts think they moved in a different direction this month mainly because of the way they were categorized — that jobs were categorized, specifically self-em- — self-employment.

Q: economy still overheated, Fed raise interest rates? A: inflation has fallen
Reporter: does the White House believe that the fact that jobs continue to grow every month at a faster rate than economists are predicting is a sign that the economy is still overheated and that the Fed may have to raise interest rates again?

KJP: So, look, … look, you know, we continue to believe that we are in a transition to more stable and steady growth. That’s what we’ve been seeing. And beating — certainly, beating inflation remains the President’s top economic goal. It’s a priority. And — but we have seen some progress over the last 10 months now: Annual inflation has fallen
