EXCLUSIVE: Americans who work in the US oil industry have slammed President Biden’s $500 billion student loan handout, calling it the latest attack on them by the administration. The oil workers argued that it was unfair to them and other working-class taxpayers to fund the pamphlet, which would have potentially benefited Americans on track to soon earn hundreds of thousands of dollars. According to the job search website Zippia, the majority of oilfield workers do not have a college degree. Biden announced last week that under the program, people earning less than $125,000 a year or $250,000 jointly are eligible to receive $10,000 in relief, and Pell Grant recipients can receive $20,000. “It’s another slap in the face from this administration,” Matt Coday, president and founder of the Oil & Gas Workers Association (OGWA), told FOX Business in an interview. “Many people see oil and gas workers as dumb or uneducated. They are some of the smartest minds,” he continued. “People who are constantly referred to or treated as dumb or uneducated are now being asked to foot the bill for a bunch of people who think they are smarter than all of us who work here in this industry.” BIDEN’S INDICATIVE STUDENT LOAN GIVE UP TO $20,000,000 TO LAWYERS, DOCTORS TO EARN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS President Biden has pursued an aggressive green energy agenda since taking office. (Getty Images/iStock/Fox News) Coday, a third-generation Texas oilfield worker, said all respondents to an internal OGWA poll opposed Biden’s student loan handout, saying they shouldn’t be expected to pay for the program. OGWA, a 501(c)(6) nonprofit trade group representing workers in the fossil fuel industry, was founded in 2015 in response to the Biden administration’s onerous environmental regulations, which Coday said hurt energy producers and companies service delivery while costing Americans jobs. The group is working to ensure job growth in the industry as many lawmakers continue to push for a so-called green transition. INFLATION DEMOCRATS QUIETLY CREATE GREEN ENERGY LOAN PROGRAM. “They’re trying to buy votes,” said Ryan Shull, an oil worker in Illinois. “They’re trying to buy as many votes as they can with taxpayer dollars and they don’t really care about the working class, they don’t care. They don’t even care about the students. If they were really going to help these kids, then they would change the cause of everything of this debt”. Shull said he attended community college because he couldn’t afford a four-year college education. He paid for his education, a degree in process technology, by working while taking classes.

(Matt Coday | Ryan Shull / Fox News) After earning his degree, Shull worked at an oil refinery for five years before starting a business buying, cleaning and reactivating abandoned oil wells with family members. “Biden himself has never had a real job other than being in the administration,” Shull added. “What they don’t understand — the real hypocrisy is they don’t understand what the energy industry, in terms of hydrocarbons, whether it’s crude oil, natural gas, coal, whatever, in terms of energy, they don’t understand I really know how operates”. He added that traditional fossil fuels are still vital to sustaining Americans’ quality of life and are often taken for granted. In addition to powering the vast majority of vehicles and electricity, hydrocarbons are important for asphalt, plastics and many other products, Shull said. STUDENT LOAN COVERAGE WOULD CREATE ‘PERFECT INCENTIVES’, REINFORCE ‘IMPOSSIBLE’ FINANCIAL DECISIONS: SEN. KRAMER “They want to demonize us, but they will end up putting us out of business and we will have to rely on importing even more products from other countries,” he continued. Andrew De La Rosa, an 11-year Texas oilfield worker who specializes in wireline work, also broke Biden’s student loan program. “Honestly, I think the biggest slap in the face is to people who have already paid off their student loans. You know, what about them? Do they get some kind of compensation?” De La Rosa told FOX Business in an interview. GRANHOLM TRIPLES ‘GREEN’ AS ‘ONLY WAY OUT’ OF HIGH GAS PRICES A DAY AHEAD OF ENERGY CEOS MEETING “From day one, this whole government has attacked the fossil fuel industry a little bit,” he said. “Every one of them, the ones who spit all this out, like to take their private jets and have all their private security with their internal combustion engines.” Andrew De La Rosa is photographed working on an oil rig. (Andrew De La Rosa/Fox News) De La Rosa said he never pursued a college or university degree after graduating high school, instead choosing to work in the local school district and then a construction job before moving into the oil industry. The Biden administration has aggressively pushed a green energy agenda since taking office in 2021. The administration has pushed electric vehicles, held fewer oil and gas lease sales and pledged to ensure a completely carbon-free power grid by 2035 .
