Bill before the Senate is titled the Fiscal Responsibility Act and would also cut federal spending…

House passed it Wednesday night and the President Biden says he will sign it into law if the Senate passes it.

Senate passes a bill that would nullify the president's plan to forgive federal student loans, up to $20,000 per borrower. House passed the bill last week. President says he will veto it.
