Capping college loans will keep poor kids out of college.

That’s the plan. That’s been the plan.

Big & Beautiful” never looked so “Low & Ugly!” Buried in the bill…capping loan amounts for students and parents, eliminate graduate plus loans, remove $0 payments for those who don’t earn enough to pay on their loans. 1/2…

Wow! These asshats in the legislature are throwing everything against the wall to see if they can slip it in under our noses. Write, call your reps, and demand they omit these dastardly provisions. Enough!

Ignorance and a lack of education leads to republican voters.

The war on education has been long and arduous. Reagan ending free public college as CA gov in 1968 was the opening shot. We are now witnessing their victory.

Vouchers are the latest in a long line of assaults to undermine information getting to the masses. They won’t be wholly victorious until they’re collecting profit to miseducate society.

Centrist democrats will love this, it is as much their goal as it is the goal of the right wing.

We have been sabotaged from within by mercenary politicians that do what they're paid to do.

To rephrase, "Centrist" Democrats destroyed the left in exchange for campaign contributions.

The oligarchs need a steady supply of wage slaves.

This is the overall plan of this administration with the complicity of the Republicans on the Supreme Court, to get rid of the majority of the poor and keep enough (whites) to serve them as the slaves served them before the abolition of slavery.

Why do this? Mamdani will reestablish free 2-year college. It's a start. Frightening, though, when Germany and others graduate their kids for free in a 4-year program.

Betting that any med school or law school would be over whatever the cap might be. I’m sure that’s the intention for law school, but for med school I wonder if they’ve really thought this through.

They want to keep people poor and uneducated. It’s about control.

Keep 'em dumb and poor and scrabbling just to stay alive and they won't notice you robbing the country blind!

What's the good of being rich if you don't have serfs to lord over?

Translation: too many POC are breaking out of poverty after attaining college degrees.

nekoqatz.bsky.social•11 hours ago

And more women than men have degrees. The Christofascists don't like it. They want women in the kitchen, pregnant and dependent on men so women cannot leave an unsafe relationship. Because they believe someone invisible said it should be so.

The GOP already broke the loan contract by misappropriating the proceeds.

I signed with the understanding that the interest from my loan would support initiatives for other students.

Defunding the DOE is a breach of contract.

I'm not paying.

Yep, I was in the first wave of being able to get student loans without my parents’ help. I’m not supposed to be educated 🤭

diamondstar1962.bsky.social•16 hours ago

They just want their indoctrinated white nationalist children to have degrees to keep Christendom. That’s why they hate DEI, critical thinking skills, or the development of the mind through reading. They want to rule by fear for control of all mankind. Never going to happen.

I will die owing money for student loans. If only the interest would go away.

It was never about education the population, it was always about creating a millstone of perpetual debt for people who try to better themselves in order to create an never ending revenue stream for financial institutions.

Doesn’t today’s Supreme Court decision mean the national injunction against Biden’s student loan forgiveness has been rendered null and void?

Gutting higher education and access to higher education is part and parcel of a fascist regime. See also how the GOP has basically been installed as senior leadership in Florida public colleges and universities. Super Third Reich-y.

They want an IGNORANT ELECTORATE to go with an IGNORANT Country. The whole thing is depressing. Kids only hope to go to College may be through Scholarships.

Same happening in the UK. Our universities used to be free of tuition fees with a grant to help with living expenses. We now follow America and our university sector is, in places, on the brink of collapse.
