Trump to cancel student loan forgiveness

[SDANation]

This a-hole! How do people not see he is making everyone’s lives harder?! 😡🤬

“
The president and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos have stated that they want to balance the needs of both student loan borrowers and federal taxpayers. Eliminating this program, they argue, would save the federal government money from not having to forgive potentially billions of dollars of federal student loans. Others believe that the program is vital to attract and retain individuals to enter public service and non-profit jobs, many of which pay lower salaries than private sector roles. Supporters of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program believe that ending it could deter student loan borrowers from entering public service jobs, and could adversely impact public servants, including members of the U.S. Armed Forces, police officers, firefighters, first responders, prosecutors, public defenders and others. Importantly, the proposal would impact future borrowers, not existing borrowers who already work in public service and are currently paying off student loans.”

1. More money needed to cut floodgates into his billion dollar wall.

2. Betsy must need a new yacht

So they pass an obscene tax cut for the wealthy, but don't want to relieve the student debt for people who choose public service because it will be too expensive???

3. Fuck these bastards!

4. Six-time bankrupt did what, now?

Let's pour more of our national productivity directly into the overstuffed pockets of the wealthy!

5. More GOP off-the-shelf money laundering

The predatory lenders squeeze their victims' savings and wallets dry and, natch, will dutifully pay a portion to the nearest GOP "campaign contribution" drop.

6. They really hate teachers.

I wonder if Betsy was forced to do homework once.

Another bridge fire lit.

10. "This a-hole! How do people not see he is making everyone's lives harder?!"

They do, and they don't care. Actually they do care, and they like it.

"I had to pay back all of MY student debts, and it was character building, so everyone else should!"
"Why should these spoiled entitled kids get their student debt forgiven when I had to work so hard to clear mine!"
"It's their fault for getting student loans in a field where they couldn't pay them back!"

The cruelty's intentional.

11. Their answer will always be: "I got mine, fuck you!".

That's always the answer to the "fuck your feelings" crowd.

Thankfully we have a democratic congress or else it would be..
