JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon called the White House's student loan forgiveness plan 'badly done' during a congressional hearing on Wednesday, and added the Biden administration's move doesn't go far enough to fix the problem with student lending.

The plan also caps monthly payments at 5% of a borrower's monthly income. And after 10 years, individuals with loan balances below $12,000 will see that debt wiped.“We basically put a Band-Aid on, spent a lot of money and didn't fix the problem which will now be ongoing. So please, give it a fix," Dimon said. He said the plan does not address the cost of college or the procedures that determine who can afford loans.
At a hearing that lasted over six hours , lawmakers pushed the chief executives on a broad range of other issues, including the state of the economy, overdraft fees, ties with Russian firms and fossil fuel financing., Rep. Rashida Tlaib asked Dimon whether JPMorgan had a policy against funding new oil-and-gas development in order to combat climate change.
