The 136th General Assembly of Ohio has introduced a concurrent resolution, H.C.R. No. 2025-2026, sponsored by Representative McClain and co-sponsored by Representative Demetriou, urging Congress to discontinue support for post-secondary education loans. The resolution highlights the significant burden of student loan debt in the United States, which totals approximately $1.814 trillion, with federal loans accounting for 91.6% of this debt. It notes that a substantial number of borrowers are struggling with delinquency and emphasizes that government-backed loans contribute to rising tuition costs rather than making higher education more accessible.

The resolution argues that in a free-market economy, the government should not be involved in providing higher education loans, suggesting that this involvement distorts the market and leads to increased costs for students. It also points out that there are numerous job opportunities available that do not require a college degree, advocating for a shift in focus away from traditional higher education financing. The resolution calls for the transmission of authenticated copies to various government officials and media outlets to raise awareness of this position.
