madison alworth on what folks on main street are saying and a senate minority whip john thune on the timing moments before people start voting. welcome. i m neil cavuto. this is your world. let s go to hillary vaughn on the fall-out from the white house. hillary? hi, neil. president biden is using taxpayer money to pay off 20 million americans college debt completely by offering $10,000 off of what students owe that are making $125,000 less that year, up to $25,000 for people with pell grants. the president says he has a way to pay for it. remember the $300 billion in the inflation reduction act that was supposed to reduce inflation by paying down the debt? biden says it s helping pay for this. how do we pay for it? we pay for it by what we ve done. the single largest deficit reduction in a single year in the history of america. the inflation reduction act will cut it by another $300 billion over the next decade. biden is extending the pause on student loan payments f
