Rep. Khanna blasts 'tit-for-tat politics' that followed Biden's loan handout
Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna weighs in after the White House called out Republicans who accepted the pandemic-era PPP loans that were later forgiven.
Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna pushed back against the White House for calling out Republicans with forgiven PPP loans and condemned the "tit-for-tat" politics over President Biden's loan forgiveness announcement. On "America Reports" Monday, Khanna suggested investing in skilled trades and vocational education as a strategy of further lifting working-class Americans and competing with China.
HOUSE REPUBLICANS CALL OUT BIDEN'S ‘CLOWN’ ATTACK COMPARING COVID LOANS TO STUDENT DEBT HANDOUT
REP. RO KHANNA: I don't go after colleagues personally. That's not the way I would make the argument. What I would say is this: China is our competition. They're producing millions of engineers and scientists. … I want America to win. I want us to do what built us into an economic superpower. And that means making sure that people can go to college if they want, without going $30,000, $40,000 into debt. And I also want an investment in manufacturing, so we can get working class folks and let's give them a tax credit. Let's give $10,000 to get a skilled trade. Let's make sure that vocational education is covered. This should be about what's going to build America, not tit-for-tat politics of who took what loan and who is paying off what loan. I don't think we should personalize it.
